The View of the Tortoise Trainer

What do you see when you look outside your window? Have you ever tried to go to the furthest point you can see from your window and look back at your house or your room? In this workshop we study Osman Hamdi Bey’s Tortoise Trainer and try to imagine the surrounding environment of the painting.  After a guided online tour of the exhibition “Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters” and the Osman Hamdi Bey section from the Suna ve İnan Kıraç Foundation Orientalist Painting Collection, we imagine what could be outside of the window depicted in the painting and paint it.
