EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze medal depicts Mehmed II, also known as "the Conqueror" who ruled the Ottoman Empire during the 15th century. Created by an Italian School artist, this exquisite piece of metalwork is now housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. Mehmed II was a formidable ruler who achieved great military successes during his reign. At just 21 years old, he famously conquered Constantinople (now Istanbul), bringing an end to the Byzantine Empire and establishing himself as a powerful force in history. The obverse side of this medallion showcases a traditional portrait of Mehmed II, capturing his regal presence and commanding gaze. His ornate hat adds to his majestic appearance, symbolizing his authority as sultan. On the reverse side, intricate relief work highlights various elements associated with Mehmed's rule and conquests. The detailed costume reflects both Renaissance influences and traditional Ottoman dress. As one gazes upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, they are transported back in time to witness the might and grandeur of Mehmed II. This medal serves not only as a testament to his achievements but also as a reminder of the rich history that shaped our world today.
