Book cover of Bartholomäus Schachman, 1559-1614: The Art of Travel by Olga Nefedova, Anna Frackowska, Hyejung Yum

Traveller and explorer, art patron and collector, politician and mayor, Bartholomäus Schachman lived in a time of great political and religious change, with a flourishing of the arts under the expanding Ottoman Empire. The Art of Travel presents a detailed account of one of his most important journeys through the Ottoman Empire from 1588 to 1589, shown in a never-before-published selection of 100 fascinating watercolour miniatures. Schachman’s album of images collected during his travels was to become one of the greatest travelogues of the 16th century and continues to delight to this day.
