EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Sultan Osman I, the founding father of the Ottoman Empire in the late 13th century. Born as Osman Ghazi, he was affectionately known as "Kara Osman" or "Kara" meaning "black" due to his dark complexion. Osman I was the leader of the Ottoman Turks, a Turkic people who had migrated from Central Asia and established a principality in northwestern Anatolia, present-day Turkey. Osman I's reign marked the beginning of the Ottoman State and the Ottoman Dynasty, which would go on to rule for over six centuries. He is considered a national hero in Turkey and is often referred to as Osman Gazi, or Osman the Conqueror. Osman I's rule saw the expansion of the Ottoman territory, with the capture of important cities such as Bursa and Nicomedia. The print showcases Osman I wearing a turban and adorned with a bey or gazi title, indicating his status as a warrior-saint. The oval frame and intricate script in the border add to the historical and artistic significance of the piece. The Ottoman Empire under Osman I was a major power in Europe and the Mediterranean, and his legacy continues to shape Turkish history and culture to this day. This print is a testament to the rich history of the Ottoman Empire and the enduring influence of its first ruler, Sultan Osman I. Dating back to the 14th century, it is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the early days of this remarkable dynasty.
