Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1479, the Venetian painter Gentile Bellini arrived at the Ottoman court in Istanbul, where he produced his celebrated portrait of Sultan Mehmed II. An important moment of cultural diplomacy, this was the first of many intriguing episodes in the pictures history.Elizabeth Rodini traces Gentiles portrait from Mehmeds court to the Venetian lagoon, from the railway stations of war-torn Europe to the walls of Londons National Gallery, exploring its life as a painting and its afterlife as a famous, often puzzling image.Rediscovered by the archaeologist Austen Henry Layard at the height of Orientalist outlooks in Britain, the picture was also the subject of a lawsuit over what defines a portrait; it was claimed by Italians seeking to hold onto national patrimony around 1900; and it starred in a solo exhibition in Istanbul in 1999. Rodinis focused inquiry also ranges broadly, considering the nature of historical evidence, the shifting status of authenticity and verisimilitude, and the contemporary political resonance of Old Master paintings.Told as an object biography and imagined as an exploration of art historical methodologies, this book situates Gentiles portrait in evolving dialogues between East and West, uncovering the many and varied ways that objects construct meaning. The first book-length study on Bellini's famous portrait of Sultan Mehmed II, tracing it's history from the Ottoman Empire to the present day. This item is printed on demand.
