About the piece
Painted around 1850 by French artist Félix Ziem, this atmospheric oil on canvas depicts the historic Bosphorus strait. The composition is dominated by a vast, airy sky that reflects beautifully on the water, highlighting the intricate details of the traditional Turkish caiques and larger European sailing ships in a masterful display of light and shadow.
