Picture of 18th century art scene
Panoramic Istanbul landscapes have an important place among the paintings made in Istanbul by the French artist Antoine de Favray. These landscapes, in which all the details are meticulously processed, are an important document. It is known that Favray painted landscapes from the embassies in Pera, especially from the Russian Palace, where he lived for a while while in Istanbul, as other Western artists of the period often did. The “Istanbul Panorama”, painted by the artist between 1770 and 1773, sheds light on the art scene of Istanbul in the second half of the 18th century.
