Ladies in the Hammam, 1741
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating glimpse into the world of beauty and fashion during the Ottoman Empire. This anonymous painting, now part of a private collection, transports us to a Turkish bathhouse where women indulge in relaxation and self-care. The scene depicts several Moslem women immersed in the therapeutic ambiance of the hammam. The artist skillfully captures their joie de vivre as they engage in conversation and enjoy this communal bathing experience. Their elegant attire showcases oriental fashion trends with intricate patterns and vibrant colors that reflect their cultural heritage. One striking detail that stands out are the platform shoes worn by these ladies. Known as chopines or zoccoli, these elevated footwear not only added height but also symbolized status within society. These fashionable accessories were an integral part of traditional dress for women during this era. As steam fills the air, it becomes evident that this hammam was not merely a place for physical cleansing but also served as a sanctuary for socializing and healing purposes. Folk medicine practices often took place within these walls, making it more than just a spa-like environment. Through "Ladies in the Hammam" we gain insight into both historical customs and artistic techniques prevalent at that time. This oil on canvas masterpiece provides us with an enchanting window into Oriental culture while celebrating feminine beauty and empowerment within its serene setting.
