Hello Steemians,
This is our first post on steemit. We are a group of art enthusiasts from Turkey, Central Asia, and Canada. We believe art shows us an intricate dialogue between different civilizations and cultures. Because art as an action is a way of self-expression, not just of an individual but of a culture as a context of that piece. Art is a way of shared communication and a result of convoluted contributions between different human experiences. We invite you to join us in this journey to discover outstanding arts.
The Tortoise Trainer (Turkish: Kaplumbağa Terbiyecisi) is a painting by Osman Hamdi Bey which was crafted in 1906 and 1907 (two versions). In 2004 it was sold for $3.5M and is currently displayed at the Pera Museum in Istanbul.
