Count Amadeo PreziosiSet of six 19th Century studies or Turkish characters by Maltese artist Preziosi
About the Item
Count Amadeo Preziosi (Maltese, 1816 – 1882)
A set of six pencil and watercolour studies or Turkish characters including street vendors, a Turkish soldier, 2 hookah smokers, fabric salesman (6)
Pencil and watercolour on paper
10.1/4 x 6.3/4 in. (26 x 17 cm.)
Amadeo, 5th Count Preziosi, came from one of the foremost families of the Maltese nobility, but found fame in Muslim Turkey, as an artist who depicted, with colour and panache, the life and landscape of Istanbul, in all its cosmopolitan variety. Instead of the legal career that his father had envisaged for him, Preziosi studied art in Paris, and from 1842 was based in Istanbul until his death forty years later. Here he established a very productive studio, painting picturesque views of the city for a wide variety of European visitors. His representations of the capital of the Ottoman Empire were bought by royal, aristocratic and middle-class tourists, who carried them home as vivid reminders of a society that was at the same time both alien and familiar.
