Suleiman the Magnificent (1494-1566), also known as Sultan Selim II, was a renowned monarch of the Ottoman Empire. His legend lives on through various works of art and manuscript illuminations. The Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon, as depicted in the Shahname by Ferdowsi, shares a striking resemblance to Suleiman's regal presence. Lokman's Book of Excellence captures Suleiman's victory at the Battle of Mohacs in 1526, showcasing his military prowess. The young Suleiman, depicted in the Semailname, foreshadows the wisdom and power he would later embody. Engravings like Solomon and Marcolf, and Suleiman's portraits, further emphasize his majesty. The Mosque and Tomb of Sulieman in Istanbul stand as testaments to his architectural legacy. Suleiman's forces, as illustrated in the Hunername, marched towards Europe, expanding the Ottoman Empire's reach. Through these works of art, Suleiman the Magnificent continues to captivate our imagination, leaving a lasting impact on history.
