Tophane Square Fountain was located in a triangular area between Necati Bey and Tophane Streets in Tophane Neighborhood of Beyoglu District of Istanbul and was built upon the orders of Sultan Mahmut I (1730-1754) in 1732. The fountain was a work of architect Mehmet Ağa and its history scripture belongs to Poet Nahifi. It forms also an arhitectural unity with the Kılıç Ali Paşa Mosque.

Monumental standing of the structure on which marks of transition from classical type to baroque are seen in its decoration, helped to be one of the highlighted architectural elements in the area where it was located. Among fountains which was built in square shape in Istanbul, this fountain’s wide eaves reflecting baroque marks and aesthetic harmony of the sharp arched niches used in the Ottoman architecture of the classical period, it shelters spectacular forms of architecture.

Naturalists motifs of the Tophane Fountain that consists of flowers clustered in vases have differential feature of naturmort style. The fountain is a work of transition period and it is shows as the most beautiful architectural samples of this style in that period. This important work was restored by Sakasu, a Sabancı Group company, in 2006 put into service of the people of Istanbul.

merhaba Selahattin

Very impressive pp work to combine these 3 into such a lovely view. Did you use layer masking?

I think the depth of course is good, as if super wide angle is used.

Good work.
