EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Paul Seheult transports us to the heart of Istanbul, Turkey, where history and grandeur converge. The image captures the magnificent Roman Hippodrome in Sultanahmet, a site that holds significant cultural and historical value. Standing tall amidst this ancient arena is the Egyptian Obelisk adorned with intricate hieroglyphics from Luxor, Egypt. The obelisk's presence serves as a testament to the rich tapestry of civilizations that have left their mark on Istanbul throughout its storied past. At the base of the obelisk, a relief depicts Theodosius I, an influential Byzantine emperor, alongside his courtiers. This detail adds depth to our understanding of how power and authority were manifested during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are reminded of Istanbul's unique position as a city straddling two continents – Europe and Asia – making it an emblematic symbol of Eurasian fusion. The architectural marvels surrounding the Roman Hippodrome speak volumes about Istanbul's status as a capital city that has witnessed countless transformations over centuries. Paul Seheult skillfully captures not only the physical beauty but also invites us to ponder upon the layers of history embedded within these structures. Whether you seek adventure or simply yearn for an enriching travel experience, Sultanahmet beckons as a must-visit destination for those seeking to immerse themselves in Turkey's vibrant heritage and awe-inspiring architecture.
