EDITORS COMMENTS
The portrait captures the esteemed figure of Reis Effendi, the Head of the Chancery and second lieutenant of the grand vizier, in his study. Ucanbarli Mehmed Efendi, as he was known, held this prestigious position from 1718 to 1730 and was hailed as one of the greatest scholars of his time. Born in Istanbul around 1673 or 1674, he passed away in August or September of 1732. In this painting by Jean Baptiste Vanmour, Ucanbarli is depicted at approximately 57 years old. Sitting on the floor behind his desk, surrounded by a sea of papers, he exudes an air of intellectual prowess and authority. The nickname "Ucanbarli" meaning "the three warehouses" alludes to his vast possessions and collection of writing accessories. This artwork offers a glimpse into Ucanbarli's world - a realm where knowledge reigns supreme. His dedication to scholarship is evident through the meticulous arrangement of books and scrolls that adorn his study. With every stroke captured on canvas with oil paint, Vanmour immortalizes not only Ucanbarli but also an era defined by intellectual curiosity. The portrait serves as a testament to Ucanbarli's legacy as well as an homage to Turkish history itself. Through this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the brilliance and influence embodied by this remarkable individual who left an indelible mark on society during his lifetime
