Kaplumbağa Terbiyecisi

Bursa'daki Yeşil Camii'yi andıran güneş ışığının süzüldüğü sessiz odalarda, derin bir durgunluk draması sergilenir. Vizyoner sanatçı Osman Hamdi Bey tarafından 1906 yılında resmedilen Kaplumbağa Terbiyecisi, yaşlı bir adamın ve onun ağır hareket eden yoldaşlarının basit bir tasvirinden çok daha fazlasıdır; reformun, zamanın ve insan ruhunun doğası üzerine meditatif bir çalışmadır.
