EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Turkish Tulip album, dating back to 1725 in Istanbul. The exquisite watercolor on paper painting, created by the Turkish School in the 18th century, measures 30.9x21.7 cm and is now held in a private collection. The image provides a unique pictorial record of forty-two varieties of the stunning Istanbul tulip, which has long vanished from existence. These tulips were cultivated during the Tulip Period, also known as late Lale Devri under Sultan Ahmet III's reign (1703-30). Each blossom depicted on this page represents an extinct beauty that once flourished in Turkey. The composition beautifully combines elements of horticulture and artistry with its vibrant red hues and exotic oriental miniature style. The marbled pattern adorning each flower adds an extra layer of intrigue to this botanical masterpiece. Lost to time but preserved through this decorative album, these rare tulips are captured in all their splendor. This ornate page serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance attached to these blossoms during their peak period. Through this photograph by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate not only the delicate beauty of each bloom but also gain insight into Istanbul's historical connection with horticulture and artistic expression.
