Very Good German Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In German. 20 p., iv numerous b/w plates (Tafeln). Ein Weiteres Sultansbild von Gentile Bellini aus russischem Besitz. A study on Gentile Bellini, (1430-1507), was an Italian painter of the school of Venice. He came from Venice's leading family of painters, and at least in the early part of his career was more highly regarded than his younger brother Giovanni Bellini, the reverse of the case today. From 1474 he was the official portrait artist for the Doges of Venice, and as well as his portraits he painted a number of very large subjects with multitudes of figures, especially for the Scuole Grandi of Venice, wealthy confraternities that were very important in Venetian patrician social life. In 1479 he was sent to Constantinople by the Venetian government when the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II requested an artist; he returned the next year. Thereafter a number of his subjects were set in the East, and he is one of the founders of the Orientalist tradition in Western painting. His portrait of the Sultan was also copied in paintings and prints and became known all over Europe.

RIMANENZA DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO: PERFETTO. Il dominio dell'Occidente sul resto del mondo non è solo una conquista militare né una supremazia economica o tecnologica. È accompagnato dalla convinzione di appartenere a una civiltà che per dinamismo, forza e progresso si è posta al vertice della storia. Questo libro illustrato racconta la storia e le vicende della collaborazione del mondo ad opera delle potenze europee dal '500 alla fine dell'800. Ripercorre quindi la storia dell'Europa fuori dalla stessa Europa, prendendo in esame le trasformazioni economiche, sociali, culturali cui ha dato luogo quell'incontro-scontro tra civiltà che fin dal 1492 ha riunito, nell'idea dell'occidentalizzazione, popoli e culture di ogni parte del mondo.

Levni's pictorial narrative of the Surname-i Vehbi, poet Vehbi's account of the festival organized in 1720 to commemorate the circumcision of four sons of Sultan Ahmed III, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of Ottoman art and possibly the last great example of illustrated Islamic manuscript. Preserved in the Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul, the work is illustrated with 137 paintings that re-create the personages, settings, and events of an extraordinarily lively and enchanting age known as the Tulip Period.
