Turkey: 'Seated Scribe'. A portrait of a seated Ottoman writer by Venetian artist Gentile Bellini (1429-1507)

Gentile Bellini (c. 1429 23 February 1507) was an Italian painter of the school of Venice. He came from Venice's leading family of painters, and at least in the early part of his career was more highly regarded than his younger brother Giovanni Bellini, the reverse of the case today.<br/><br/>. Now housed at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, this painting reflects Bellinis passion for Eastern cultures. Originally commissioned by Fatih Sultan Mehmet II in 1479 to go to Constantinople to paint portraits of the sultan for two years, the Venetian painter was strongly influenced by Ottoman traditions and fashions.
