EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Greek Woman in her Apartment, c. 1708" transports us back to the vibrant world of the Ottoman Empire in the early 18th century. The image captures a moment of intimate domesticity as we glimpse into the private quarters of a Greek woman. Dressed in exquisite robes that reflect her cultural heritage, she stands gracefully amidst an opulent setting adorned with richly patterned textiles and luxurious furnishings. Her headdress, intricately designed and elegantly positioned, adds an air of regality to her presence. The artist behind this remarkable print is Jean Baptiste Vanmour (1671-1737), known for his depictions of various nations from the Levant region. This particular illustration comes from his renowned work "Receuil de Cent Estampes representante differentes Nations du Levant" published between 1707 and 1708. Commissioned by Charles de Ferriol, French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire at that time, this collection aimed to document and celebrate the diverse cultures found within these lands. Engraved by Gerard Jean Baptiste Scotin (1671-1716), it beautifully captures not only the exotic allure but also highlights elements of traditional Greek fashion and customs. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene frozen in time, we are transported across centuries and continents - a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance.
