EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Splendid View of Istanbul's Castles from the Manuscript Cicogna (1671) 2. Description: This exquisite print showcases a breathtaking view of Istanbul's two castles, one situated in the Greek part and the other in the Anatolian, as depicted in the Manuscript Cicogna (1671) housed in the prestigious Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana (St. Mark's Library) in Venice, Italy. The colorful, vertical miniature painting, which is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Venetian school, offers a unique perspective of the historic city's landscapes along the Black Sea. 3. Background: The Manuscript Cicogna (1671) is a valuable historical document that provides a wealth of information about Istanbul and its surroundings during the late 17th century. This particular miniature painting, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, offers a striking representation of the city's defensive structures, which played a crucial role in protecting the strategic trade routes between Europe and the East. 4. Castles in the Picture: The Greek castle, also known as the Rumeli Hisarı, is located on the European side of the Bosphorus Strait, while the Anatolian castle, or the Anadolu Hisarı, stands on the Asian side. Both castles were essential components of the Ottoman Empire's fortification system and served as a symbol of the empire's power and influence. 5. Significance: This image not only provides a glimpse into the rich history of Istanbul but also showcases the artistic mastery of the Venetian miniature painters of the time. The Manuscript Cicogna (1671) and its stunning collection of miniature paintings continue to be an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and art enthusiasts alike, offering insights into the cultural, historical, and artistic exchanges between Europe and the Ottoman Empire during the late Renaissance period.
