EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fountain of Sultan Ahmet III, also known as the New Mosque Fountain, is a breathtaking example of Ottoman rococo architecture in Istanbul, Turkey. Built between 1728 and 1739 during the reign of Sultan Ahmet III, this pink marble masterpiece is one of the most beautiful fountains in the city's rich history. The intricately decorated fountain, located in the courtyard of the New Mosque, is a visual feast for the eyes. Its elaborate design is reminiscent of the Sacred Cascade Fountains of Paradise, as described in the poetry of Seyit Vehbi Efendi. The fountain's ornate decorations feature intricate floral motifs, geometric patterns, and calligraphy, all executed with the finest craftsmanship. The pink marble used in the construction of the fountain adds an air of elegance and refinement, while the water cascades gracefully down its steps, creating a soothing and tranquil atmosphere. The historical significance of the fountain is further emphasized by its location in the heart of Istanbul, a city that has been the cultural and political center of the Ottoman Empire for centuries. The Fountain of Sultan Ahmet III is not just a decorative feature, but also served a practical purpose in supplying water to the mosque and its surrounding areas. Its beauty and functionality are a testament to the Ottoman Empire's appreciation for art, culture, and the natural world. This print captures the essence of the Fountain of Sultan Ahmet III, showcasing its pink marble facade, intricate decorations, and the gentle flow of water. It is a reminder of Istanbul's rich history and the beauty and elegance of Ottoman architecture.
