Luigi Mayer (1755–1803) was an Italian-German artist and one of the earliest and most important late 18th-century European painters of the Ottoman Empire. He was a close friend of Sir Robert Ainslie, 1st Baronet, a British ambassador to Turkey between 1776 and 1792, and the bulk of his paintings and drawings during this period were commissioned by Ainslie.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Art and Literature About Lycia )〕 He travelled extensively through the Ottoman Empire between 1776 and 1794, and became well known for his sketches and paintings of panoramic landscapes of ancient sites from the Balkans to the Greek Islands, Turkey and Egypt, particularly ancient monuments and the Nile.〔(Heatons of Tisbury )〕 Many of the works were amassed in Ainslie's collection, which was later presented to the British Museum, providing a valuable insight into the Middle East of that period. ==Gallery== File:Alexandrie et phare.jpg|Alexandria Lighthouse File:Lugi Mayer - Pitesti in 1793.jpg|Pitesti File:Luigi Mayer Ancient Telmessus.jpg|Telmessos File:Paliki-baths-1810.jpg|Paliki baths, Ionian Islands 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luigi Mayer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
