About The Tortoise Trainer Osman Hamdi Bey Orientalist Painting
The Tortoise Trainer is a Orientalist Painting by Osman Hamdi Bey. Osman Hamdi Bey was an Ottoman administrator, intellectual, art expert and also a prominent and pioneering painter. He was also an accomplished archaeologist, and is regarded as the pioneer of the museum curator's profession in Turkey. Osman Hamdi went to primary school in the popular Istanbul quarter of Beşiktaş;after which he studied Law, first in Istanbul and then in Paris.During his nine-year stay in Paris, the international capital of fine arts at the time, he showed a keen interest for the artistic events of his day. Osman Hamdi returned to Istanbul, as the vice-director of the Protocol Office of the Palace. During the 1870s, he worked on several assignments in the upper echelons of the Ottoman bureaucracy.Osman Hamdi continued to paint in the style of his teachers, Gérôme and Boulanger. Yet, he frequently depicted himself and his family members in these paintings, complicating an assumption of a removed orientalist gaze in his work.About the Art Prints
