EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment in the 16th century. The image showcases Selim I, the formidable Emperor of Turkey from 1512, leading his army into battle against Ismail I, the founder of the Safavid dynasty and King of Persia. The scene unfolds at Khoi, Iran in 1514. In this intense battlefield setting, soldiers armed with swords, lances, bows and arrows engage in fierce combat. The cavalry charges forward fearlessly as archers skillfully aim their arrows towards their enemies. This woodcut print beautifully portrays the chaos and intensity of warfare during this era. Selim I is known for his ruthlessness on the battlefield and was often referred to as "Selim the Cruel" or "Selim Yavuz". His ambition to expand Turkish territories led him to clash with Ismail I's Persian forces. The significance of this encounter lies not only in its military implications but also in its religious undertones. Both Selim I and Ismail I were influential figures within Islam, representing different sects - Selim being Sunni while Ismail was Shia. As we gaze upon this historic image captured by an unknown creator but preserved by Ann Ronan Pictures, we are reminded of the power struggles that shaped nations during this time period. It serves as a testament to both human resilience and our ability to shape history through conflict and conquest.
