Bazar Istanbul Orientalist Souk Stall Street Market Trading
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bazaar in Constantinople" transports us back to the bustling streets of Istanbul in the 19th or early 20th century. The artist, Felix Ziem, skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant Turkish city through his watercolor on paper technique. The image showcases a lively street market, known as a bazaar, where traders and merchants gather to sell their wares. The scene is filled with an array of colorful stalls adorned with various goods and products. From textiles and spices to pottery and jewelry, every corner offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of oriental culture. The arches that line the street create a sense of grandeur while also providing shade for shoppers seeking refuge from the scorching sun. As we immerse ourselves in this picturesque setting, we can almost hear the chatter of bargaining and feel the energy pulsating through every stall. Ziem's work falls under Orientalist art movement which romanticized Eastern cultures during that era. This particular piece beautifully encapsulates his fascination with capturing exotic landscapes and cultural traditions. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris' Musee du Petit-Palais in France, this timeless artwork continues to captivate viewers even today. It serves as a reminder of Istanbul's historical significance as a hub for trade and commerce throughout centuries gone by.
