Hüseyin Zekai Pasha attended the military school of the period. His painting Bosphorus on a Night of Fireworks won praise from Sultan Abdülhamid II (r. 1876-1909), and he entered the palace as assistant to Şeker Ahmed Pasha, the court painter. After the latter’s death in 1907, he became the court painter and the protocol officer for foreign visitors. Hüseyin Zekai Pasha did not study art in the West, but kept track of the new trends through foreign visitors in Istanbul. He also painted compositions on porcelain objects produced at the Yıldız Ceramic Factory.

The painting exhibited here pictures part of the mihrap(the niche showing the direction of the qiblah) wall of the mosque, known as Atik Valide and built by the well-known Ottoman architect Sinan in 1571-86 in the Üsküdar (Scutari) neighbourhood of Istanbul for Sultan Selim II’s wife Nurbanu. On the upper part of the tile-covered wall is the last part of Ayetü’l-kürsi [Bakara 2/255] in celi sülüsscript. On this wall are marvelous examples of 16th century Turkish tile art.
