Amidst the bustling streets of Istanbul, a Studio Shrine dedicated to Scottish artists John Syme and David Syme stands proud. John Syme, an American-French painter, captures the majesty of nature through his oil on canvas masterpiece of John James Audubon, the renowned ornithologist, with a dragon's mouth-like beak of an eagle in Arethusa bulbosa's background. Meanwhile, the Women from Simia and Pera gaze upon this artwork, their intrigued expressions mirroring our own. John Syme's brushstrokes bring Audubon's masterpieces to life, while his father-in-law, James Syme, the Scottish surgeon from Edinburgh, revolutionized surgery with his innovative techniques. David Syme, a Scottish-Australian newspaper publisher, documented their stories and shared them with the world. A testament to Scottish artistic and scientific brilliance, this Studio Shrine is a must-visit for history and art enthusiasts alike.
