Amadeo Preziosi was a Maltese painter and the son of a noble family. His father was a high-ranking local politician in Malta and the eldest son Amadeo, born in 1816, was supposed to study law according to his wish and was therefore sent to Paris to the Sorbonne. The young Preziosi, however, was not interested in law but in painting. He had already had painting lessons in Malta with Guiseppe Hyzler, a well-known painter. Now he continued his studies in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. When he returned home at the age of about 25, he no longer felt really at home in Malta, all the more so as his father strongly disapproved of his choice of profession. He therefore decided to leave the island. His destination was Istanbul, because this city was praised by other French artists as a good place for artists. Once in Istanbul, Amadeo Preziosi earned his living by selling drawings and watercolors of the city and its surroundings to tourists. He was also commissioned by the British Ambassador in Istanbul to produce an album of these paintings. This earned him enough to embark on a trip to Egypt, from which he published a second sketchbook entitled Souvenir du Caere.
The artist soon felt at home in the city on the Bosphorus. He fell in love with a Greek woman living there and married her. The couple had four children, three daughters and a son, and lived in a quiet suburb of the city. Amadeo Preziosi had a workshop nearby, where many tourists came to take home a drawing or a watercolor with motifs of the city as a souvenir. Very high lords were among his customers, including King Edward VII of Great Britain and the Prince of Wales. Prince Carol I of Romania also came to his workshop and invited Amadeo Preziosi to visit his country and produce his watercolors and drawings for tourist purposes there as well.
The artist accepted the invitation and spent several months in Romania in 1868 and 1869. In 1882, Amadeo Preziosi died from a gunshot that accidentally hit him. He was buried in the Catholic cemetery of Istanbul.
