EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Barbarossa Brothers (engraving)" by the Dutch School in the 17th century. The engraving, part of a private collection, depicts Aruj Barbarossa and his younger brother Khayrad din, famously known as the Redbeard Brothers. These formidable siblings were instrumental in establishing the notorious Barbary Pirates during the 16th century along the North African coast. Aruj Barbarossa's distinctive red beard is prominently displayed in this portrait, while his brother Khayrad din exudes an air of severity. Together, they founded their main base in Algiers and became renowned corsairs who terrorized maritime trade routes. The composition captures their Turkish heritage with their traditional turbans adorning their heads. The image evokes a sense of power and dominance as these pirates ruled over the seas with great prowess. "The Barbarossa Brothers (engraving)" not only serves as a historical record but also highlights the impact these brothers had on piracy during that era.
