EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a hammam in Turkey, beautifully illustrated in a plate from "Moeurs, usages et costumes des ottomans" by A. Castellan, Paris circa 1810. The coloured engraving showcases the communal interior of the hammam, where women gather for leisure and relaxation. The image is filled with intriguing contrasts - between the steam-filled atmosphere and the half-dressed figures; between traditional Turkish costumes and modern bathing attire. It offers a glimpse into the world of orientalist baths, where women can be seen undressing and wearing hammam shoes known as chopines. Amidst this scene of tranquility and rejuvenation, one cannot help but notice that this particular print also features another famous figure: Frédéric Chopin. Although unrelated to the subject matter depicted here, it adds an unexpected layer to this artistic composition. As we observe these semi-nude figures resting and enjoying their spa experience together, we are reminded of the importance placed on health treatments during this era. The Turkish bath was not only a place for physical well-being but also served as a social gathering spot for individuals seeking relaxation. Through this enchanting print captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported to an earlier time when music played alongside moments of indulgence in steamy hammams – truly capturing both cultural traditions and timeless beauty within its frame.
