EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th century print depicts Sultan Orhan, the second ruler of the emerging Ottoman Empire, also known as the Ottoman Beylik or Emirate at this stage. Born around 1281, Orhan was a significant figure in the early history of the Ottoman Dynasty. He is shown here wearing a distinctive turban adorned with precious stones, symbolizing his regal status. The oval frame adds an elegant touch to the portrait, while the intricate script and writing in the border pay homage to the rich cultural heritage of the era. Orhan was a renowned Gazi or Ghazi, a title given to warriors who led military campaigns in the name of Islam. His military conquests expanded the Ottoman territories, pushing the borders further south into Anatolia and Europe. This period marked the beginning of the Ottoman Empire's rise to power and influence, which would continue for centuries. Sultan Orhan's leadership and military prowess were instrumental in shaping the Ottoman Empire's history. His reign, which lasted from approximately 1326 to 1362, laid the foundation for the grandeur and might that would come to define the Ottoman Empire in the future. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of courage, ambition, and the birth of a powerful dynasty.
