EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving takes us back in time to the bustling Haghia Sophia Square in Constantinople, now known as Istanbul. The focal point of this print is the magnificent fountain that stands proudly at the center, surrounded by a vibrant array of people and horses. The Imperial Gate of the Old Seraglio, also known as the Palace of Topkapi, looms majestically in the background, adding an air of grandeur to this historic scene. The intricate details captured by the English School artist transport us to a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages and lively markets filled these ancient streets. The image exudes a sense of energy and life with its depiction of various activities taking place around the square. People can be seen going about their daily routines - merchants selling their wares, locals engaging in conversation, and children playing amidst all the commotion. The inclusion of horses adds an element of movement and vitality to this snapshot from history. These majestic creatures were not just modes of transportation but symbols of power and prestige during those times. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection at Victoria & Albert Museum in London, we are reminded once again that art has an incredible ability to transport us through time and space. It allows us to appreciate our shared human experiences across generations while marveling at how much has changed yet remained unchanged throughout history.
