EDITORS COMMENTS
Suleyman the Magnificent, also known as Suleiman the Lawgiver or Kanuni, was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1520 to 1566. This striking portrait of Suleyman, engraved by Lemaitre and Masson, is taken from the 1840 publication "Historia de Turquia" by Joseph Marie Jouannin and Jules Van Gaver. The image captures the Sultan in his regal attire, standing tall with a turban adorning his head and a long, flowing beard. Suleyman's impressive presence is further emphasized by his ornate robes and the intricate patterns of his customary Ottoman dress. Suleyman's reign is remembered for its legal, cultural, and architectural achievements. He is considered one of the greatest sultans in Ottoman history, known for his military conquests, which expanded the Ottoman Empire to its greatest territorial extent. Suleyman was also a patron of the arts and sciences, and his court attracted scholars, artists, and architects from all over Europe and the Middle East. The engraving by Lemaitre and Masson masterfully captures the essence of Suleyman's power and majesty. The intricate details of his attire and the subtle shading of the engraving bring the portrait to life, transporting us back to the 16th century and the height of the Ottoman Empire.
