EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning painting titled "Freshwater of Asia at Constantinople" by Johann Michael Wittmer. Created in 1837, this oil on canvas masterpiece is a prime example of German art from the 19th century. Currently housed in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, it depicts an enchanting scene set in present-day Istanbul, Turkey. The painting transports viewers to a public garden where various elements come together harmoniously. A horseman gracefully rides through the lush greenery while a musician plays an instrument nearby. In the foreground, we see a veiled woman and her family enjoying a leisurely picnic amidst the vibrant atmosphere. Wittmer's attention to detail is evident as he captures every nuance of this Orientalist setting. From the intricate patterns on clothing to the smoke emanating from hookah pipes, each element adds depth and authenticity to the scene. The artist skillfully portrays not only human subjects but also animals such as horses that roam freely within this idyllic landscape. The presence of wildlife further enhances our connection with nature and emphasizes its importance within Turkish culture. Through his brushstrokes, Wittmer beautifully encapsulates both cultural and religious aspects of life in Constantinople during this time period. This thought-provoking artwork invites us to reflect upon themes such as family dynamics, music, dance, religion, and tradition. Leonard de Selva's expert photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Wittmer's masterpiece while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
