About this Item

Title

  • Constantinople.

Summary

  • This colored travel sketch of Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) as seen from the eastern part of the town of Scutari (present-day Üsküdar) across the Bosporus Strait is by the Danish painter Martinus Rørbye (1803--48), a central figure in the "Golden Age" of Danish art (circa 1770--1900). After training at the Kunstakademiet, Rørbye travelled widely, to France, Italy, Greece, and Turkey. In 1833 he was one of the first artists to paint in Skagen, in the far north of Denmark, some 45 years before it became an artists' haven. He spent the winter 1835--36 in Greece and Turkey.
