English: An oil painting, a cityscape, by
Ivan Aivazovsky. It depicts the
Bosphorus, the
Golden Horn and the
Galata Tower in
Istanbul during the
Ottoman period. Galata Tower is seen with its previous conical roof, which was destroyed by a storm in 1875 (the current conical roof of Galata Tower was built during the restoration works between 1965 and 1967.) The human figures in the painting provide us with information regarding the traditions and daily life in the Ottoman Empire during the first half of the 19th century, before the
Tanzimat reforms for Western style clothing became widely applied among the civilian population.
