EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "The Customs and the Manners of the Turks" takes us back to 1553 and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople. Created by Pieter Coecke van Aelst, this artwork is part of a larger frieze consisting of 14 blocks. Van Aelst's meticulous attention to detail brings to life the bustling cityscape with its towering obelisks adorned with intricate hieroglyphs. The panorama showcases an amalgamation of Roman ruins and majestic buildings that dot the landscape. Among these architectural marvels stand caryatids, their graceful forms supporting the weight above. In this vibrant scene, we witness soldiers on horseback riding through the streets, evoking a sense of military might and power. These figures in turbans represent an army deeply rooted in Turkish tradition. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of Turkish customs during this era. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that Van Aelst drew inspiration from his visit to Istanbul in 1533. His keen eye for capturing everyday life allows us to peer into a world long gone but forever preserved within this woodcut print. "The Customs and the Manners of the Turks" not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also acts as a time capsule transporting us back centuries ago when Istanbul was at its zenith—a testament to both artistic skill and cultural heritage.
