EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1870 showcases the remarkable beauty and power of Roxelanel, also known as Roxelana, the wife of Suleiman II the Magnificent. The image transports us back to the 16th century Ottoman Empire, where this influential couple reigned supreme. In this vertical print, we see Roxelanel depicted in vibrant colors that bring her regal presence to life. Her elegant attire reflects her status as a prominent figure in history, while her confident gaze reveals both strength and intelligence. The intricate details of the engraving highlight not only her physical beauty but also capture the essence of her personality. Roxelanel's significance lies not only in being Suleiman II's beloved wife but also in her political influence within the empire. She was known for advising and influencing decisions made by her husband, making their partnership one of great importance during their reign. This particular print is part of a private collection and was created by Santiago Ortega—an artist who skillfully captured historical figures through his engravings. While much about this artwork remains unknown, its ability to transport us back to an era filled with intrigue and power is undeniable. As we admire this stunning portrayal of Roxelanel, let us remember the impact she had on shaping history alongside Suleiman II—a testament to strong women throughout time who have left an indelible mark on society.
