This vibrant coloured engraving captures the essence of life at the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul during the 18th century. Titled "Chef to the Grand Seigneur, Topkapi Palace" it showcases Beulouk-Bachi, the esteemed Chef de Cuisine of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. In this image, we see a male chef dressed in traditional Turkish attire, complete with an impressive moustache and a distinctive hat. He stands confidently beside a flaming stove, surrounded by an array of pots and utensils that emit aromatic smoke. The chef's skilled hands are captured mid-gesture as he tends to his culinary creations. The engraving not only highlights the artistry involved in cooking but also provides insight into Turkish culture and cuisine during that era. It exudes orientalism through its depiction of rich colors, intricate details, and exotic elements associated with Turkish traditions. Published by Le Hay in Paris as part of a catalogue illustrating life at Topkapi Palace, this print offers viewers a glimpse into one of history's most magnificent royal residences. The Topkapi Palace served as both home and administrative center for four centuries under various Sultans.
