Description
A very rare lithographed view of the 'KAN' [outdoor residence] of the Hospodar [ruler/prince] of Moldavia. With the painter [Louis Dupre] seen in the foreground.
The scene probably took place in the outskirts of Constantinople, during a visit of the Moldavian Prince [then a Vassal to the Turkish Sultan]. One of the 12 in-text vignettes from the rare and very precious book: "Voyage à Athènes et à Constantinople", Paris 1825 [https://shapero.com/louis-dupre-voyage-a-athenes-et-constantinople-first-edition-1825-98719].
Louis Dupré (Versailles 9 January 1789 – 12 October 1837 Paris) was a French painter, especially noted for his travels in Greece and other regions within the Ottoman Empire and of his numerous paintings with Orientalist and Philhellene themes.
Louis Dupré had been a student of Jacques-Louis David, and had later become a painter for Jérôme Bonaparte, receiving commissions from the court. Dupré had studied in Italy and had also received commissions during his travels there. He travelled to Greece, during a time when the region's ancient ideals and Hellenistic culture had experienced a revival.
It also represented a concerning time for the Ottoman Empire, in terms of keeping their territorial regions under control. His visit to Greece was on the very eve of the Greek War of Independence.
Dupré visited Greece [and Turkey] in 1819, which had still been part of the Ottoman Empire, and recorded his time there with drawings and descriptions of the people from the different levels of society. His travel book, named 'Voyage à Athènes et à Constantinople', was produced a few years later after his travels, in 1825.
It was released in France after Greece had begun to rebel against the Ottoman Empire. His travel book consists of forty lagre illustrations and accompanied by fifty-two pages, with 12 vignettes illustrated, text.
