This print showcases a stunning Hexagonal Isnik tile from the 16th century. Created by the Turkish School, this earthenware masterpiece features vibrant coloured underglaze depicting cypresses and a prunus tree. Measuring 20 cm in diameter, it is currently housed at the prestigious Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford, UK. The intricate design of this tile is truly mesmerizing. The hexagonal shape provides a unique canvas for the exquisite floral pattern that adorns its surface. Delicate foliage intertwines with blossoming flowers, creating an ornate and decorative display. The focal point of this artwork lies in its depiction of cypresses and a prunus tree. These iconic symbols hold great significance within Eastern art and culture. The graceful curves of the cypress trees evoke feelings of tranquility and harmony, while the blooming prunus represents beauty and renewal. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this ceramic piece exemplifies the mastery of Iznik pottery techniques prevalent during that era. Its timeless appeal transcends centuries as it continues to captivate viewers with its elegance. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only the artistic skill but also gain insight into historical traditions and cultural symbolism embedded within such remarkable works of art.
