"To Lindy, Timothy, Sarah, Rachel, and Sophia"
Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-239) and index (pages 241-259).
Introduction: Istanbul's cultural traffic -- Ottoman imperial portraiture and transcultural aesthetics -- The battlefield of Ottoman history -- Gérôme in Istanbul -- Istanbul's art exhibitions -- Self-portraiture in Ottoman Istanbul -- Epilogue : Istanbul exchange.
"A vibrant artistic milieu emerged in the late-nineteenth century Istanbul that was extremely heterogeneous, including Ottoman, Ottoman-Armenian, French, Italian, British, Polish and Ottoman-Greek artists. Roberts analyzes the ways artistic output intersected with the broader political agenda of a modernizing Ottoman state. She draws on extensive original research, bringing together sources in Turkey, England, France, Italy, Armenia, Poland and Denmark. Five chapters each address a particular issue related to transcultural exchange across the east-west divide that is focused on a particular case study of art, artistic patronage, and art exhibitions in nineteenth-century Istanbul"--Provided by publisher.
