About Konstantin Kapıdağlı
Lived 1800 – 1900. Konstantin Kapıdağlı was a Turkish painter.
Konstantin Kapıdağlı (born Konstantinos Kyzikinos; ) was an Ottoman Greek court painter from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. Most of his works were created around 1789–1806.
Kapıdağlı's set of Ottoman sultan portraits are known as the Kapıdağlı series (1804–1806). Most of the sultans were deceased at the time of creation, and hence the faces are idealistic and imaginative. Unlike previous sultan portraits, this series housed the sultans in a frame, with additional imagery below depicting a scene from the sultan's life. This style set an example after which other 19th-century sultan portraits followed.
