EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length portrait, titled "The Chaous Bachi" or "The Chief Herald of the Ottoman Empire" (1700-1737), is a masterpiece created by the Workshop of Jean Baptiste Vanmour. The Chaous Bachi was an essential figure in the Ottoman court, serving as the commander of the messengers, lieutenant of the grand vizier in his judicial capacity, and superior of the detachment that accompanied foreign envoys on their way to an audience with the sultan. Dressed in the ornate clothing of the eighteenth century, The Chaous Bachi wears a vibrant red robe adorned with intricate gold embroidery, a sign of his high rank. He is bearded, a common practice during this era, and wears a tall, conical hat, known as a fez, which is a traditional headcovering of the Ottoman Empire. The portrait is set against a plain background, allowing the subject's rich attire and facial features to take center stage. The painting is an oil on canvas, executed with exceptional skill and detail by the Dutch artist or his workshop. The Chaous Bachi's piercing gaze and confident posture exude a sense of authority and importance. This portrait is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire during the eighteenth century and the influence of European art in Istanbul, then known as Constantinople or Stamboul. The painting is now part of the renowned Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of European and Ottoman art.
