Google-search a image of the Süleymaniye Mosque and you generally get a picture taken from the Golden Horn side, with the huge dome dominating and the four huge minarets to the right. Or head on, with the dome between the minarets. Galloway has chosen to go round the ‘back’ of the mosque to paint it. It seems as if the people going about their lives, the trees and the sky are just as important to her as the architecture, which often dominates images of this mosque. Thanks, Jessie, for your different take on this famous building.
