Gercekten de, Kont Amadeo Preziosi,1840-1870 yillar arasinda Istanbul'un en unlu Oryantalist ressamlarindan biriydi. Ne var ki, sanatci 20. yuzyilda unutulmus ve ancak Oryantalizmin moda olmasiyla adindan tekrar soz edilmeye baslanmistir. Nitekim Ingiltere'nin en onemli Oryantalist resim koleksiyonlarindan birine sahip olan Rodney Searight,1971 yilinda Londra'daki Leighton House'da koleksiyonunun ilk kez sergilediginde Preziosi'nin adindan kimsenin haberi olmadigini soyler. Yasaminin asagi yukari ucte ikisini Istanbul'da geciren Preziosi, sehirdeki Avrupalilar ve Levantenlerin yani sira Muslumanlarla da dost olmustur. Istanbul'a kisa sureler icinde gelip giden, burayi egzotik ve gizemli, ama o olcude de uzak ve yabanci bir dunya gibi goren diger Oryantalist ressamlarin aksine sehir halkini, yasantisini, gelenek ve goreneklerini gercekten yakindan tanimis, daha da onemlisi, sevip benimsemistir. Sanatcinin 1867 Paris Uluslararasi Sergisi'ndeki Osmanli Pavyonu'nda tablolarini bir Turk ressami olarak sergilemesi bunun kanitidir. (Kitabin Icinden).

Watercolour with gouache over pencil and ink on grey wove paper, 25 x 35 cm. (9 7/8 x 13 3/4 in). A frequently used viewpoint, afloat on the Bosphorus, the life blood of the city, with small boats and local people going about their daily business in the foreground. T his view depicts the Nusretiye Mosque, meaning the Mosque of Victory, newly built between 1823 and 1826 as part of the redevelopment of the Tophane artillery barracks by Mahmut II in celebration of his expulsion of the traditional, but rebellious, Janissary guard in favour of more western-style troops. It is located in the Tophane district of Beyoglu, in Istanbul, and was designed in a style fusing western baroque with eastern Islamic architecture, which so typifies the crossroads that is Istanbul, by Krikor Balyan (1764-1831), the first of a dynasty of nine architects from the Armenian Balyan family to serve the royal household through the 19th century. A native of Malta, Preziosi first visited Istanbul in 1842, and depicting the city and its people in their distinctive costumes and attitudes was to be the focus of his artistic career thereafter. In the 1850s he worked for the Illustrated London News, and in 1866 Preziosi was invited to paint the official portrait of the Ottoman Sultan Abdülaziz for the Turkish Pavilion of the 1867 Universal Exhibition in Paris. During his time in Constantinople, which he made his home, Preziosi became the most popular painter in the city. In the age of the Grand Tour, and before the commercial development of photography, such orientalist scenes as this would be highly sought-after as mementoes of a visit to such an exotic land. Preziosi's gift for depicting people and costume, and free flowing lines, along with attention to small details, made his work particularly appealing. As copies of two of his original works, which are now housed in the Pera Museum in Istanbul, their visible age and the quality of their execution, place them firmly in the artist's studio or very close circle.

Folio. Engraved title, engraved list of plates and 20 chromolithographed plates, printed by Lemercier after Preziosi. Publisher's purple cloth, covers decorated in gilt and blind, expertly rebacked to style with dark purple cloth First edition of lively lithographs by one of the best known of the artists living and working in the Levant in the mid-19th century. The son of Count Gio Francois Preziosi of Malta, Amadeo initially studied the law before turning to painting. After studying under Giuseppe Hyzler, Preziosi subsequently completed his art education at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. He moved to Constantinople in 1842, fell in love with the city, and was able to make a living painting the places and people that surrounded him. It is noted in the Atabey catalogue that "Preziosi was well-known . His studio is mentioned in Murray's guidebooks for 1854 and 1871. By that time he had become an institution in the city. He produced views of the city, and genre and costume drawings" (The Ottoman World p.535). His paintings sold well to both the affluent local and the Grand Tourist, and his reputation was such that also served as a court painter to Sultan Abdul Hamid II. Preziosi visited Cairo in 1862 and the colourful views here depict street scenes and local inhabitants in the city and along the Nile. Colas 2425; Blackmer 1352; Hilmy II, 135.
