" Turkish woman " , Karl Pavlovich Bryullov 


The painting was inspired by Count Orlov-Davydov, a well-known philanthropist and writer, who arranged a tour to the Ionian Islands and Asia Minor in 1835. The artistic expedition's schedule was extensive, but Bryullov became ill in Athens and was obliged to return to St. Petersburg. The sickness kept the painter in Constantinople for three months on the trip home, allowing Bryullov to fully appreciate Turkey's unique splendor.


The life of the incidents, the realism of the features, soft humor, and a nuanced understanding of national color differentiate the works of this time. "Turkish Lady" refers to works created after returning to Russia and written from memories. A young woman relaxing on a sofa, expensive, colorfully embroidered garments highlighting her spicy "non-European" attractiveness. A bright, catching look does not need subdued backdrop tones to focus on the protagonist - a strong color scheme, on the contrary, highlights and doubles her beauty. The burning background heightens the sense of joy and sensuality that pervades the painting.
