EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Ken Welsh titled "Mehmed II, 1432" takes us back to the medieval era, offering a glimpse into the final moments of one of history's most influential figures. Mehmed II, also known as Mehmed the Conqueror, was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire during a time when empires rose and fell. In this poignant illustration, we see Mehmed lying on his deathbed surrounded by his sons and close advisors. The room is filled with an air of solemnity as they witness their beloved leader's transition from this world to the next. As Mehmed's soul begins its journey towards eternity, it is said that whispers of a devil attempting to claim his soul can be heard in hushed tones. The image captures not only the vulnerability and mortality of even great rulers but also highlights familial bonds amidst political power struggles. The presence of Mehmed's sons signifies both their grief at losing their father and their anticipation for inheriting his empire. Ken Welsh masterfully brings this historical moment to life through intricate details and expert brushstrokes. Through this artwork, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand how even mighty sultans faced mortality just like any other human being. "Mehmed II, 1432" serves as a reminder that no matter our status or achievements in life, we all eventually face our own mortality – a universal truth that transcends time and place.
