EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 14th-century portrait captures the regal presence of Sultan Bayezid I, the founder of the Yildirim (Thunderbolt) branch of the Ottoman Empire in Anatolia, Turkey. Bayezid I ruled from 1389 to 1402, expanding the Ottoman territories significantly through military conquests. Known as a Ghazi (warrior for Islam), he wore the distinctive turban adorned with the symbol of a thunderbolt, symbolizing his divine right to rule and military prowess. The oval frame and intricate script surrounding the image add to the historical significance of this artwork, which is believed to have been created around 1395. The inscription in the border reads, "Max Fruchtermann," the name of the artist or possibly a collector or owner of the piece. The Ottoman Sultan is depicted with a serious expression, wearing a richly decorated robe, and holding a scepter in one hand and a globe in the other, symbolizing his worldly power and authority. Bayezid I's reign marked the beginning of the Ottoman Empire's rise to prominence, making this portrait a valuable historical artifact that offers insights into the power, prestige, and cultural influences of the Ottoman Sultans during the 14th century. The intricate details and rich colors of the artwork serve as a testament to the artistic achievements of the Ottoman Empire during this period.
