EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene titled "Procession through the Hippodrome, Constantinople" by William Hogarth. Taken from Aubry de La Mottrayes' book "Travels throughout Europe, Asia and into Part of Africa" published in London in 1724, this engraving showcases the architectural beauty of 18th-century Istanbul. The image transports us back to a time when Turkey was known as Constantinople, showcasing its rich cultural heritage. The procession taking place in the Hippodrome is a grand spectacle filled with people from all walks of life. Palanquins carry elegantly dressed individuals, hinting at an extravagant wedding or important event happening within the city. In the foreground stands an obelisk, symbolizing both power and history. It serves as a monument to commemorate past achievements while also adding depth to the composition. The square is bustling with activity - men on horseback lead the way while others follow on foot or litter. Hogarth's meticulous etching technique brings out every intricate detail of this vibrant scene. The contrast between light and shadow adds drama to the overall composition, emphasizing each element's significance. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion unfold before our eyes. It reminds us of Istanbul's rich cultural tapestry and its enduring allure that continues to captivate visitors even today.
