Michale Boganim, a young Franco-Israeli filmmaker, follows the journeys of Odessa’s Jewish community, exiled from Israel and the United States. She offers a nostalgic and touching triptych of these cities in three colors: blue Odessa, with the faded beauty of an old city, Little Odessa, a Russian enclave in brick-colored New York, and Ashdod, a glaringly white mushroom town that has strung up in the Israeli desert.
This is one of Stanisław Chlebowski’s larger canvasses dealing with themes other than battles; only Ottoman Life at the Sweet Waters now at the Istanbul Military Museum can compare with it in size.
Based on similar examples by the European painters in various collections, this work is one of the portraits of Mihrimah Sultan, who was depicted rather often in the 16th century.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
