EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting "The King of Hungary, Lajos II (1506-26) in council before the battle of Mohacs in 1526". Created by Ali Amir Beg in 1558, this ink and gold leaf on vellum artwork is housed at the Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul, Turkey. The image belongs to the Suleymanname manuscript (Mss Hazine. 1517 f. 200a), showcasing an illustration from that period. It portrays the defeat of Louis II, leader of the Hungarians, by Suleyman the Magnificent's army during one of the Ottoman-Habsburg Wars.
