EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intimate bond between Kosem Sultan and her son, the future Sultan Murad IV or Sultan Ibrahim. Painted in the second quarter of the 17th century by Herrmann, Franz & Gemminger, this oil on canvas artwork showcases their royal elegance and maternal love. Kosem Sultan, also known as Mahpeyker Sultan, was the beloved consort of Sultan Ahmed I during his reign from 1603 to 1617. In this painting, she is depicted breastfeeding her infant son while adorned with exquisite hardstone studded jewelry and a grand cloth turban. Her golden brocade garments and jewel-studded pointed shoes further highlight her regal status. The young prince lies peacefully in his mother's arms, symbolizing both vulnerability and promise for the future of the Ottoman Empire. Above them hangs a European-style red velvet curtain that adds an intriguing contrast to their traditional attire. This portrait not only celebrates motherhood but also serves as a testament to power within imperial families. The austrian school artists skillfully captured every detail - from Kosem's fine white lace to her son's innocence - creating a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers today. As we gaze upon this extraordinary painting from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back in time to witness a tender moment between an influential woman and her cherished child.
