EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print depicts an enchanting view of an avenue in a cypress garden in Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, Turkey. The exact location of this idyllic scene is believed to be the Topkapi Palace, a historic landmark and former royal residence. The print, possibly created by the German artist Georg Balthasar Probst or an anonymous Dutch artist, showcases the meticulously planned garden with its symmetrical arrangement of cypress trees lining the avenue. The trees, with their distinctive conical shape and dark, glossy foliage, create a striking contrast against the pale background of prepared paper. In the foreground, men and women, dressed in the fashion of the time, are seen engaging in leisurely activities. A man in a coat and hat is seen deep in conversation with another man, while women clad in flowing gowns and headscarves stroll along the path, chatting animatedly. The garden pavilion, with its ornate facade and steps leading down to the water, adds to the sense of tranquility and relaxation. The print, which is believed to be an etching or watercolor, showcases the rich heritage of European art, particularly from the Low Countries. With its intricate details, vibrant colors, and captivating perspective, this print invites us to take a step back in time and imagine the beauty and elegance of Constantinople during the 18th century.
