Teachers
In a guided online 3D tour, we explore the exhibition “What Byzantinism Is This in Istanbul!” and its collection of modern renditions of Byzantine history on various artistic media. Then, we take a look at the common themes in literature, music, visual arts, comics, film and fashion that relate to Byzantine history in various ways, and try to make sense of the apparent differences based on field, region and historical period.
Teachers will discover ways of integrating Pera Museum exhibitions’ curricula-compatible Teacher Guidebooks into their classroom activities and accompanying their students in the exhibitions, as well as a wide range of activities for different age groups.

1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
This life-size portrait of a girl is a fine example of the British art of portrait painting in the early 18th century. The child is shown posing on a terrace, which is enclosed at the right foreground by the plinth of a pillar; the background is mainly filled with trees and shrubs.
