who are moving that boat, they re made to seem quite subservient. so the underlying idea is that the islamic peoples it depicts are seen as somehow being inferior. this othering by western artists can be insidious, and it often occurred unconsciously. the special collection at the pera museum allows us to trace the evolution of this world view, and i ve been excited for a while about coming face to face with this sumptuous, pastel portrait which has been taken out of storage for me. it s by a wonderful 18th century swiss artist who i think deserves to be much better known, jean etienne liotard. looking at it with me is pera museum curator, baris kibris. baris, i m really happy that you could bring this out of the stores for us, because its stunning. it s such a ravishing work of art. tell me a little bit about the artist. he was a swiss artist.
baris, this is a really imposing painting, which i think i m right in saying comes from towards the end of osman hamdi s life, right? yes. yes, exactly. can you just tell me a bit more about the artist, because he s a really important figure here in turkey? yes, he was important because he did lots of things in arts and culture. he was a museologist and he was the head of the first art school. he was an archaeologist and he wanted to become a painter. i guess the big picture idea is that he actually travels to paris and he encounters painting there including, of course, orientalist painting by european artists, which inspires him. and when he returns to turkey, he starts to make his own version of orientalism. yes, we can say that even when he was in paris, people saw him as an oriental figure. so he was the best man to paint these subjects. so his calling card, if you like, was, if you want orientalist pictures, well, i m an oriental man. i m the guy to do it. yes.
