Children draw inspiration from the magical world of orientalist paintings by visiting the Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters and Osman Hamdi Bey exhibitions with a guide. In the workshop, they imagine the unseen part of "The Tortoise Trainer" and transfer it onto paper using mixed techniques. Afterwards, with the help of the Journey into Osman Hamdi Bey's World – Virtual Reality Experience, the children step inside the painting. They then discuss the similarities and differences between what they've imagined and the digitally constructed space.

Capacity: 8 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 200 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
