EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Capon Aghassi, the esteemed Chief of the White Eunuchs in the Sultan's court. Standing tall and proud, his left arm extended with an air of authority, he commands attention amidst a backdrop filled with members of the royal household, courtiers, and a retinue that stretches into infinity. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Jean Baptiste Vanmour or someone from his workshop. Vanmour was renowned for capturing historical figures and scenes during his time in Istanbul between 1700 and 1737. Through delicate strokes of oil paint on canvas, he immortalized not only Capon Aghassi but also countless unnamed individuals who played significant roles within Turkey's rich history. As we gaze upon this intriguing portrait, we are transported to a bygone era where power dynamics were complex and mysterious. The Capou Aghassi emerges as both head eunuch and intendant of the servants in the Sultan's household - a position that demanded utmost loyalty and discretion. While their names may be lost to history, these historical figures come alive through Vanmour's artistry. This small yet impactful print measures 39.5 cm in height by 31.5 cm in width - serving as a window into an extraordinary world that once existed within Istanbul's walls
