The “Ships off Sarayburnu” painting of Davit Çıraciyan (1839-1907?), a part of the Sabancı University Sakıp Sabancı Museum Collection, is available for viewing at the Information Center.
This 1895 painting is a naïve, elegant, almost photographic depiction of the view from the coast of Sarayburnu, a common inspiration of Western artists at the time. It is different from the –mainly Parisian– style of the time in that it depicts Istanbul from a documentary perspective.
The painting will be available for viewing at the Information Center between February 28th and May 27th, 2011.
