"C1500: A Glimpse into the Vibrant Tapestry of Turkish History and Beyond" Step back in time to the captivating world of c1500, where various Turkish figures come alive. From a stoic guard standing tall at his post to a fierce janizary ready for battle, these individuals embody the spirit of an era filled with grandeur and intrigue. The sultan and sultana reign supreme, their majestic presence captured in stained glass artistry that still mesmerizes today. Venturing beyond Turkey's borders, we encounter St George bravely slaying the fearsome dragon in a masterpiece by the High Rhenish School. Meanwhile, St Catherine of Alexandria stands resolute with a broken wheel symbolizing her unwavering faith. Jan Provost's "Death and the Miser" transports us to Netherlandish lands as it explores themes of mortality and earthly possessions. In contrast, Pintoricchio's "Portrait of a Young Boy" exudes innocence and charm through delicate brushstrokes on wood. Giovanni Bellini's "The Madonna of the Meadow" showcases Italian Renaissance brilliance as he captures tender maternal love amidst nature's embrace. The Master of Saint-Germain-des-Pres takes us further back in time with his poignant depiction of Pieta during c1500 Paris. Traveling even further into history, we encounter an ancient Egyptian scribe immortalized in granite from Karnak during Egypt's 17th/18th dynasty around c1500 BC – reminding us that civilizations rise and fall but leave indelible marks on our collective memory. Mary Magdalene witnesses an extraordinary apparition as she beholds Jesus Christ risen from death itself – a powerful testament to faith transcending all boundaries. Lastly, we glimpse Thera (Santorin) erupting violently in 1866; its horseshoe shape formed during cataclysmic events serves as a reminder of nature's immense power and the ever-changing face of our world.
