(Ebook) Gentile Bellini's Portrait of Sultan Mehmed II: Lives and Afterlives of an Iconic Image by Rodini, Elizabeth ISBN 9780755616619, 9781838604813, 0755616618, 1838604812

In 1479, the Venetian painter Gentile Bellini arrived at the Ottoman court in Istanbul,where he produced his celebrated portrait of Sultan Mehmed II. An important moment ofcultural diplomacy, this was the first of many intriguing episodes in the picture's history.Elizabeth Rodini traces Gentile's portrait from Mehmed's court to the Venetian lagoon,from the railway stations of war-torn Europe to the walls of London's National Gallery,exploring its life as a painting and its afterlife as a famous, often puzzling image.Rediscovered by the archaeologist Austen Henry Layard at the height of Orientalistoutlooks in Britain, the picture was also the subject of a lawsuit over what defines a“portrait”; it was claimed by Italians seeking to hold onto national patrimony around 1900;and it starred in a solo exhibition in Istanbul in 1999. Rodini's focused inquiry also rangesbroadly, considering the nature of historical evidence, the shifting status of authenticityand verisimilitude, and the contemporary political resonance of Old Master paintings.Told as an object biography and imagined as an exploration of art historicalmethodologies, this book situates Gentile's portrait in evolving dialogues between Eastand West, uncovering the many and varied ways that objects construct meaning.
