EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print depicts the legendary Nasreddin Hodja riding his horse backwards, showcasing the wit and humor for which he is renowned. Created by an anonymous Turkish artist in the 19th century, this artwork captures the essence of Nasreddin's satirical nature. Nasreddin Hodja was a philosopher, Sufi, and wise man who hailed from Hortu Village in present-day Turkey. He lived during the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum in the 13th century and became famous for his amusing stories and anecdotes that carried deeper philosophical meanings. In this image, Nasreddin defies convention by riding his horse with its back facing forward. The vibrant colors of the watercolor bring life to this playful scene as Nasreddin confidently balances himself on top of his unconventional steed. The intricate details within this miniature painting reflect elements of Ottoman artistry such as illuminated manuscripts and decorative arts like tezhip. This fusion creates a visually stunning composition that showcases both artistic skill and cultural significance. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of Nasreddin's humorous tales but also of his profound wisdom hidden beneath their surface. This artwork serves as a testament to Nasreddin Hodja's enduring legacy as a satirist, philosopher, and beloved figure in Turkish folklore.
