Face-to-Face

In a guided online 3D tour, we explore the exhibition “What Byzantinism Is This in Istanbul!” and its collection of modern renditions of Byzantine history on various artistic media. Then, we take a look at the common themes in literature, music, visual arts, comics, film and fashion that relate to Byzantine history in various ways, and try to make sense of the apparent differences based on field, region and historical period.

The Captive Sultan

The war fought by the Greeks to shake off the Turkish yoke was closely observed around Europe and, this being the era of romanticism, the events taking place around Greece between 1821 and 1832 became a symbol for national liberation struggle.

At The Well

At The Well

Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz discovered the Orient in 1877, touring Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and the Crimea with Władysław Branicki. This experience made a profound impression on him, and he was to continuously revisit Eastern themes in his works for the rest of his life.
