Anatolian Weights and Measures is one of the three major collection areas of the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation. The collection, which covers the main weight and measurement instruments used in Anatolia for the last four thousand years from the second millennium BC, is considered to be one of the most important accumulations in this field.

Kutahya tiles and ceramics collection by Jakov

I like this tiles and ceramics collections while they are interesting and full of colours. Similar items are dated from 18th to 20th century. There are over 1000 exibits in this collection.

I chose this painting called “amusement at goksu” found in Pera museum in Turkey because i like this vintage style with these faded colours and excellent drawing.

Secondly,they visited 

Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest

The Black Pigs Paul Gauguin, Abdulkadir

Gauguin art was completed during his years in Tahiti. He tried to express the dignity and harmony of these people. Black Pigs, which he drew in his first year in Tahiti, captures an exciting stylistic transition moment. The leaves of the trees and the reed roof of the hut are formed in Impressionist style. Here he used compact, simplified forms, especially in the case of animals and female figures depicted in an archaic resting state. The spatial relations of the motifs are governed by the official unity.

This is a portrait of a married couple. It is depicted in 1617 by Anthony Van Dyck. The Mozart of painters Van Dyck was barely more than a child when his fame spread. He produced celebrated works when he was a teenager. He was just 18 when he portrayed the married couple.

Michiel Sittow, who spent the later part of his life in his hometown Tallin (Reval), can be ranked with the most accomplished Netherlandish painters. He spent his formative years in Bruges, one of the most important cultural centres in the South Netherlands in the 15th and early 16th centuries. Thanks to his great successes, he was summoned to Spain in 1492, where he was in the service of Isabella, Queen of Castile and León for a decade, and collaborated with Juan de Flandes (ca. 1465-1519). A trip to England has also been proposed on the basis of portraits attributed to him representing Catherine of Aragon (Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum) and Henry VII (London, The National Portrait Gallery). He travelled to Denmark, too, where he certainly painted Christian II, King of Denmark. A portrait of the king now in Copenhagen.

Anastasia Alimova (Italy)

The name of this painting is “Saint James the Great in the Battle of Clavijo” by Juan Carreño de Miranda. Its physical dimensions are 231 x 168 cm and method used to draw it was oil on canvas. I love the atmosphere and colours of this picture

Thirdly,National Museum in Warsaw

Capsheaves Stanistaw Wyspianski. Ahmetcan. sibel

I like this is painting.the work of stanistaw wyspianski was inseparably tied to city of Krakow and the pastel straw covers on rosebushes.On of the artist’s.Most famous pictures,is no exception.Wyspianski presents an evening scene of the Planty park surrounding Krakow’s old town.Looming in the backgrounds,past the dark,tangles of leafless tree branches is the silhouette of Wawel Hil with its royal castle and cathedral.the Alley running through the park is lit by gas lights.But it is not Wawel Hill the lights or the trees that are of primary importance here.The foreground is populated by a number of mysterious-looking straw covers sheltering rose bushes in anticipation of winter.

The largest painting in the National Museum’s collection – Jan Matejko’s Battle of Grunwald, measuring over four metres in height and nearly ten in width.
The painting depicts the culmination of a battle waged in July of 1410 which ended in a rout of the Teutonic Knights’ army by allied Polish-Lithuanian-Russian forces led by Ladislaus Jagiełło. The Battle of Grunwald acquired a monumental relevance in Polish history. As one of the nation’s greatest military victories, it became an affirmation of the historical strength of the kingdom. Matejko’s depiction of this very event in the era of the country’s partitioning was intended to bolster Poles’ faith in their homeland’s future resurgence.

Federico Floro Flores Italy

Even tho I’ve never understood who are those 2 people this painting caught with the emotions I think to understand of the woman

Lithuanian Art Museum

Artist In The Studio Vytautas Kasiulus. Ahmetcan.Sibel

I like this is painting.On of the most popular motifs in Vytautas Kasiulus work was the painter in his studio.The author vas varied this subject an infinite number of times,giving in always new opportunities for expression,discovering untested shades used to convey the changing mood.The painter by his easel and the model standing nearby was also often an autobiographical theme which depicted the artist himself and his wife
