Five Senses and Themes: Islamic art exhibition at the museum of Turkish Islamic art in Sultanahmet by Painter Ismail Acar



Five Senses and Themes: Historical Art


The five human themes of creation, apocalypse, love, power, and fear are the central point behind the historical works of this exhibition. Included iconic images are Adam and Eve, Leyla and Mecnun representing love as well as dragons and doomsday representing fear among many others that all express different categories according to varying historical and cultural contexts. Works from the Seljuk era, that have never been displayed before, are also present as well as works of Ismail Acar that allow the five senses to take part in the viewing of this unique exhibition.
