Rørbye & Bindesbøll — Journey to Constantinople

  • København
  • 60 minutes
  • Danish

About 190 years ago, Danish painter Martinus Rørbye (1803-1848) and Danish architect Gottlieb Bindesbøll (1800-1856) met in Italy. They were both on an extended trip abroad and decided to travel together — across Italy, to the Greek islands and Athens. Here they were given the opportunity to go on to Turkey, and in mid-December 1835 they arrived in Smyrna (present-day Izmir). After a few days' stay, Rørbye and Bindesbøll set course for Constantinople (present-day Istanbul).

In Constantinople they each executed a greater number of sketches of primarily folk life and architecture, and they both had a keen interest in the culture and people whom they met on their way.
