About the piece
Created around 1880 by the French master Félix Ziem, this oil painting depicts the 'Sweet Waters of Asia' (Göksu Deresi) along the Bosphorus. Renowned for his ability to capture light and atmosphere, Ziem uses loose, impressionistic brushstrokes to render the shimmering water and the soft, hazy sky of the Ottoman capital, creating a work that feels both timeless and evocative.
