EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Water-carrier, 1865" by Amadeo Preziosi takes us back to the enchanting streets of Stamboul in the Ottoman Empire. The image showcases a male water carrier, his face hidden behind a veil, delicately holding a jug filled with refreshing water. His demure expression and traditional attire reflect the cultural richness of Turkey during that era. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured through lithography transport us to this distant time and place. Published by Lemercier in Paris as part of their "Souvenir de l'Orient" collection, this artwork offers a glimpse into the world of orientalism prevalent in European art during the 19th century. However, it is important to note that some elements portrayed here may be seen as problematic today. The leering gaze directed towards the female figure depicted on the jar suggests an unfortunate stereotype perpetuated by orientalist art at that time. Nevertheless, this print remains an intriguing piece from history, shedding light on both artistic trends and cultural perceptions of its time. Preserved within a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this work serves as a reminder of how art can capture moments frozen in time while also prompting critical reflection on societal attitudes and biases.
