Kartpostallarla Osmanlı'dan İnsan Manzaraları

Kartpostallarla Osmanlı’dan İnsan Manzaraları, dönemin sosyal medyası gibi.

11 Aralık 2013 Çarşamba 15:06

Küratörlüğünü Osman Köker ile Gürel Tüzün’ün, tasarımını da Tan Oral’ın yaptığı, Seyhun Binzet’in zengin koleksiyonundan seçilmiş, Osmanlı’nın son dönemine ait 'Kartpostallarla Osmanlı’dan İnsan Manzaraları Sergisi' Karaköy’de Schneidertempel Sanat Merkezi’nde ziyarete açıldı.
Osmanlı toplumunun renkli ve çok etnikli yaşamını anlatan 100’ü aşkın kartpostalın yer aldığı sergi, dönemin yaşanan sıkıntılarına da tanıklık ediyor.

OSMANLI’YI BİR DE KARTPOSTALLARDAN GÖRÜN
19. yüzyılın sonlarında başlayan ve üzerinde resimlerin bulunduğu kartlarla haberleşme, Osmanlı’da tıpkı Avrupa’da olduğu gibi, zarfın içine konulmayı gerektirmediği için, hem gönderene hem taşıma işini gerçekleştiren posta şirketine hem de kendisini gönderilen postanın içeriğini denetlemekle görevli olan devlet kurumlarına büyük kolaylık sağladığı için hızla yayılmış.

1895-1914 yılları arasında altın çağını yaşayan, Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nın başlamasıyla da gerilemeye başlayan kartpostalın Osmanlı’nın son dönemlerine ait en güzel örneklerinin yer alacağı sergi sayesinde ziyaretçiler tarihte görsel bir yolculuğa çıkacak.

Sergi, 19 Ocak 2014 tarihine kadar, hafta içi her gün 10.30 - 17.00, Pazar günü ise 12.00 - 16.00 saatleri arasında ziyaret edilebilecek.

While Gaziantep’s museums and cultural venues continue to grow and advance, its first private museum displays a 15-year-old collection, which consists of antique items made of glass, archeological artifacts and ancient culture.

A couple from Turkey’s Gaziantep has established a museum, placing their 15-year-collection on display. The collection consists of Roman, Byzantium and glass artifacts in particular. The museum aims to share local culture and heritage with visitors. The couple had been collecting the artifacts for 15 years, having later decided to establish a museum instead of keeping the collection at their home. Kamil and Füsun İşsever has bought an Antep house, typical of civil architecture, and established a museum. The house museum is close to Gaziantep Castle. 

Greek mythology

One of Greek mythology’s most intriguing antagonists was the source of inspiration for the couple in their conquest to officially name the museum, having finally come across Medusa as their muse for the museum’s name; the female monster known as a “Gorgon” was said to have the face of a hideous human female with living venomous snakes instead of hair. Gazing directly upon her would turn onlookers to stone. The Medusa Glass artifacts museum is an honor for the couple as they have found a way to share their collection with the public.

Stressing that the works meant more than money, İşsever said: “The museum is the fruit of our love. I spent most of my time here. Gaziantep is renowned for its cuisine and industry but it is a fact that it is also becoming increasingly well-known for its museums and culture.”

İşsever thinks that the city’s museums are multiplying with its cultural life experiencing a steady but welcome boom. In addition to its museums, Gaziantep’s beauty has gained quite the reputation among many, according to İşsever. “We aim to have share in this tourism and cultural life,” the couple added.

The first glass museum in Turkey

The first glass museum of Turkey was Medusa Glass Museum and it has many artifacts from different ancient era, added the couple, saying: “We can say that after Rahmi Koç’s collection, our museum comes [second].” On the other hand, the museum is the first private museum of Gaziantep, which makes the museum more valuable, according to the couple.

There are many artifacts such as glass, porcelain and handmade ancient covers and quilts. There are many ancient coins. Apart from the coins the museum has more than 500 normal and non-glass artifacts and each of them are ancient and valuable, the couple said. The visitors mostly visit the museum to see the glass works; they said and added there are total of 4 thousand glass works in the Medusa Museum.

Ottoman rulers - sultan, khan, padişah and caliph

NIKI GAMM

The word sultan derives from an Arabic word meaning authority or power, particularly the strength, authority and position of a ruler or dictatorship. It was first used in the Abbasid period but not to signify the ruler, rather men of lesser importance but still wielders of power

Original Rumi pool removed at Konya’s Mevlana Museum

KONYA - Doğan News Agency

The Konya Provincial Culture Directorate removed the pool from in front of dervish cells as part of rearrangement works at the Mevlana Museum and placed a new one using the similar stones.

Officials in Konya have raised controversy just before events marking the 740th anniversary of Jalaladdin Rumi’s passing after a centuries-old pool in the garden of the Mevlana Museum was removed and rebuilt elsewhere with similar stones.

“Similar stones were used to build a similar pool in a different place,” said Erdoğan Erol, who worked as a director for the museum for 25 years before retiring. “In my opinion, this is a murder. It should be changed back.”

İznik tile artists briefly paint the town red

NIKI GAMM

Blue might be the color that comes to mind most when one thinks of İznik tiles, but there was a brief period of effervescence in the 16th century when red was the color of the day. The period lasted no longer than 30 years before dropping out of fashion

Not only did İznik tiles decorate architectural works in Istanbul, ceramic wares for daily use also found their way into the palace kitchen for such occasions as births, circumcisions and enthronement ceremonies and decorated the dining tables of the wealthy. Hürriyet photo

In the second half of the sixteenth century, there was a brief window of opportunity during which the ceramic workshops in İznik produced an extraordinary red color on their wares. The time frame was 1550 to 1580, at a point when the Ottoman Empire was at its peak, during its classical period. İznik as well as Kütahya had long been centers of tile-making because the clay soil in their vicinity was particularly suited to the production of ceramic wares. Wood was readily obtainable from the woods in the area. Neither of the two cities was very far from Istanbul and both were on commercial routes. Tile production was carried out in İznik in the Roman, Byzantine, Anatolian Seljuk and Beylik eras.

The gates of Istanbul

Niki GammHürriyet Daily News

The walls were intended to protect the buildings on what is usually termed the Acropolis, that is, where Topkapı Palace is today. They are believed to have been six kilometers long with 27 towers; however, we have no way of knowing how many gates were in the walls

Edirne Gate in the city walls.

A gate at its simplest is an opening in some sort of an enclosure – a wall or a fence. It can be very plain or very ornamental such as the earliest known ceremonial Gate of Ishtar, an elegant structure created by Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II in 575 BC. Certainly all fortresses and fortified cities had gates that could be opened or closed as circumstances warranted. The bigger the settlement, the more important it became to have larger walls and more gates. Such building required a central authority able to command the manpower needed to build such constructions and a reason to create such protection. Palisades or stake walls such as the ancient Greeks and Romans constructed might have been useful for short term defense against small forces but would hardly helped against a large enemy force.
