"Interior Scenes of Hagia Sophia - A Group of Three Watercolors" is a collection of artworks by the Swiss-Italian architect and painter Gaspard Fossati, who, alongside his brother Giuseppe, is renowned for his restoration work on the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul during the 19th century. The watercolors, created during the period of the Fossatis' restoration efforts between 1847 and 1849, capture the grandeur and intricate details of the Hagia Sophia's interior, offering a unique historical perspective of the monument's aesthetic and architectural elements during the Ottoman era.

Gaspard Fossati's watercolors are significant not only for their artistic merit but also for their documentary value. They provide a visual record of the Hagia Sophia's interior before modern restorations and alterations, showcasing elements that may have been lost or changed over time. The three watercolors in this group are particularly noted for their attention to detail, use of light and shadow, and the ability to convey the vastness and spiritual ambiance of the space.

The Hagia Sophia, originally constructed as a cathedral in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) in 537 under the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, has served various religious functions over the centuries. It was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest in 1453 and later became a museum in the 20th century. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most iconic examples of Byzantine architecture.

Fossati's watercolors of the Hagia Sophia's interior are not only works of art but also historical documents that continue to inform and inspire scholars, historians, and art enthusiasts. They remain an important part of the visual heritage related to one of the world's most significant architectural marvels. The watercolors are often studied in the context of 19th-century Orientalist art, as well as within the scope of architectural conservation and historical preservation.
