EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century print depicts the Sultan Valide, or the legal mother of a ruling Sultan in the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire, which spanned three continents and reached its peak during the 16th century, was renowned for its grandeur and opulence. The Sultan Valide held a position of great power and influence within the royal court, acting as a mother figure and advisor to her son, the Sultan. The image captures the Sultan Valide in all her regal splendor, adorned in the finest Turkish finery of the time. She wears a voluminous robe, embroidered with intricate gold and silver threads, and a crown adorned with precious gems and pearls. Her headdress, known as a tülübah, is a symbol of her high rank and is adorned with feathers and jewels. The Sultan Valide's face is serene and composed, reflecting her wisdom and grace. The print, dated 1572, provides a glimpse into the opulent world of the Ottoman court during the 16th century. The intricate details of her costume and the rich colors of the print transport us back in time, allowing us to imagine the grandeur and splendor of the Ottoman Empire at its height. The image also serves as a reminder of the important role women played in Ottoman society, particularly in the royal court, where they held positions of power and influence.
