EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene of a wedding procession on the Bosphorus, showcasing the rich Turkish traditions and vibrant celebrations. Along the Asian shores of this iconic waterway, a colorful entourage accompanies a radiant bride as she makes her way to her groom's house. Majestically riding a horse under an exquisite canopy held by four men, she exudes grace and elegance. Leading the procession is an Imam, walking directly in front of the tent where he will bless the union. The melodious sounds emanating from this joyous parade can be heard from afar, announcing their arrival with jubilant fervor. A striking feature in this image is the pyramid-shaped tower adorned with golden branches resembling ears of corn. This symbolic structure represents fertility and abundance, adding depth to the cultural significance of this momentous occasion. On one side stands Rumeli Hisari castle, providing a picturesque backdrop for these civil marriage ceremonies that have been cherished for centuries in Turkey. The composition beautifully juxtaposes tradition and history against nature's splendor. Preserved through time by Jean Baptiste Vanmour's masterful brushstrokes between 1720 and 1737, this oil painting on canvas transports us back to an era filled with love, rituals, and timeless customs. It serves as a testament to how weddings continue to unite people across generations while honoring their heritage.
