EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Selim II (1524-1574), the 43rd Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, who ruled from 1566 until his death in 1574. The image, held in the Library of Ahmed III at the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, showcases the Sultan in a grand and regal pose, adorned in his ornate turban and robes. The arches in the background, a characteristic feature of Ottoman architecture, add to the sense of majesty and power. Selim II is best known for his military campaigns, most notably the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, where the Ottoman navy suffered a significant defeat against the combined forces of the Holy League. Despite this setback, Selim continued to expand the Ottoman Empire, particularly in North Africa. The masculine energy and strength conveyed in this print reflect the Sultan's military prowess and his role as the leader of a powerful and influential empire. The intricate details of the Sultan's attire and the elegant curves of the arches serve as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Ottoman period. This print is a precious addition to the vast collection of Ottoman art housed in the Library of Ahmed III at the Topkapi Palace, a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the rich history and culture of Turkey.
