Gaspare Fossati, master of the 19th century and documentary orientalism

Gaspare Fossati, Swiss architect and draftsman of the 19th century, distinguished himself through his precise surveys and his taste for Eastern architecture during his missions in Constantinople. Active in the 1840s–1850s, he was commissioned by Sultan Abdul-Medjid to document and restore the Hagia Sophia, producing studies that combined topographical rigor with romantic sensitivity. Influenced by the major currents of the time — Orientalism and emerging archaeology — Fossati left remarkable views, both faithful and pictorial, which contributed to the building's fame in Europe. This canvas by Gaspare Fossati bears witness to his attention to detail and his ability to translate the soul of a historic monument into a lasting image.
