EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from 1496, believed to depict Sultan Mehmed II in 1481. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of this enigmatic figure, who played a significant role in history. Preserved at the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Lombardy, Italy, this artwork offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Turkish and Ottoman Empire history. Sultan Mehmed II was a prominent ruler during the Middle Ages and his reign marked a pivotal era for Turkey and the Middle East. This engraving serves as a testament to his power and influence. With intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, it transports us back to that bygone time. The image is taken from "Obsidionis Rhodie Urbis Descriptio" by William Caoursin (1430-1501), specifically Folio 17v. It forms part of "Description of the siege of Rhodes" also published by Caoursin in 1496. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this historical artifact through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of Sultan Mehmed II's legacy and his impact on Turkish culture and beyond.
