Magical Mirrors

Pera Enabled

In this workshop, after an instructor-led exhibition tour of Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done”, students are introduced to Samih Rifat's works on photography and, in particular, his self-portrait taken through mirrors. Just as people used mirrors to paint self-portraits before the invention of the camera, students design mirrors on which they can also paint themselves using materials such as beads, stamps, black background cardboard, and mirrored cardboard.

At the Order of the Padishah

At the Order of the Padishah

In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”. 

The Battle of Varna

The Battle of Varna

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms. 

Return from Vienna

Return from Vienna

Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
