This is an oil painting and airbrush mixed media on glass. It was done on the front side of the glass. This mosque belongs to architect Sinan and was built by Suleyman the magnificent, so it is called Suleymaniye. This is a masterpiece of Sinan and Ottoman architecture from the 17th century. It was originally painted as a watercolor painting by an Italian painter nearly 200 years ago. I changed it a bit, eg reduced the number of sails.
