EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "An Armenian Architect" takes us back in time to the vibrant and diverse Levant of the 18th century. Created by Jean Baptiste Vanmour and engraved by J. de Franssieres in 1707-08, this coloured engraving is a part of Charles de Ferriol's esteemed Collection of One Hundred Prints Representing the Different Nations of the Levant. The image showcases an Armenian architect at work, providing us with a glimpse into his world and profession. Dressed in traditional Eastern European attire with fur-trimmed robes and an exotic cap, he exudes elegance and sophistication. With a measuring stick in hand and tools such as a hammer and ruler nearby, he demonstrates his mastery over his craft. The architectural setting hints at Istanbul's rich history as we see intricate buildings in the background. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched on paper brings life to this historical moment. Through this print, we are transported to an era where cultural exchange thrived between nations. It serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and historians alike, shedding light on the fascinating diversity that existed within the Ottoman Empire during that period. Displayed proudly within a private collection today, this print reminds us of our shared heritage while celebrating the skillful craftsmanship captured by Vanmour centuries ago.
