Have you heard of the different names Istanbul had in different periods? Did you know that there is a legend about how the Bosphorus was formed? In this workshop, we hear the story about how Istanbul was first established and study the structures that still stand from Constantinople, the city of Constantine. After participating in a guided 3D tour of our exhibition, we create our mosaic using clay after being inspired by the mosaics, made of small, beautifully colored, shiny tiles, adorning the Byzantine palaces. This workshop teaches us about the Byzantine history and art and helps us develop our dexterity and imagination.

History of a Khanjar

History of a Khanjar

Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.

The Search for Form

The Search for Form

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.

The First Nudes

The First Nudes

Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting. The majority of these paintings were academic studies executed in oil paint; they were part of the education of artists that had finally attained the opportunity to work from the live model. The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.
