EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the regal presence of Sultan Ahmed I (1590-1617), the 11th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, who reigned from 1603 until his death in 1617. The image, believed to have been created around the year 1600, showcases the Sultan wearing an ornate turban adorned with precious stones and intricate embroidery, signifying his high rank and power. The oval border, a common feature in Ottoman portraits, adds a sense of grandeur and elegance to the composition. Sultan Ahmed I was a member of the Ottoman House of Osman, one of the most powerful and influential dynasties in world history. His reign marked a period of relative peace and stability for the Ottoman Empire, which at the time was the largest and most formidable political and military power in Europe. The inscription in the lower left corner of the print, written in the Arabic script, reads "Evvel Ahmet," which translates to "First Ahmet" or "Ahmed I." This identification serves as an important historical reference, connecting the portrait to its subject and providing valuable context for viewers. Max Fruchtermann, a renowned German art historian and ethnologist, is credited with the discovery and publication of this portrait in the late 19th century. Fruchtermann's extensive research on Ottoman art and culture significantly contributed to the field of Turkish studies and continues to be a valuable resource for scholars today.
