EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant scene from the 18th-century Ottoman Empire. Titled "Musicians" it is part of the renowned collection called Costumes de la Cour et de la Ville de Constantinople, 1720. The artwork, created by an anonymous artist from the Ottoman School, depicts a group of musicians in traditional attire. Seated gracefully on the floor, these talented individuals are fully immersed in their performance. Their instruments include tambourines and other stringed instruments that produce enchanting melodies. Each musician exudes passion and skill as they play together harmoniously. The female musician stands out with her striking presence adorned in an elegant turban and flowing garments. Her expression reflects both concentration and joy as she contributes to the collective rhythm. This piece not only captures the beauty of music but also provides a glimpse into Turkish culture during this period. It highlights elements such as Islamic traditions represented through clothing choices like turbans and veils. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork serves as a testament to the rich history of Constantinople (now Istanbul) and its musical heritage within Ottoman society. Through this photo print, viewers can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this painting's creation and gain insight into Turkey's cultural tapestry centuries ago.
