EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Abdullah Efendi, the Mufti and head of religious affairs during the Ottoman Empire. Painted by Jean Baptiste Vanmour around 1727-1730, this exquisite artwork captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in shaping religious practices within the empire. Abdullah Efendi, originally from Greece, served as Seyh ul Islam at the court from 1718 until his downfall after an uprising in 1730. Despite being exiled, he quietly returned to Istanbul where he eventually passed away in 1743. Known for his extensive collection of legal religious documents, Abdullah Efendi was instrumental in introducing printing technology to the Ottoman Empire. In this portrait, Abdullah is depicted wearing traditional Islamic attire with a turban adorning his head. The intricate details and vibrant colors used by Vanmour bring life to this historical figure whose name may not be widely known today. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable piece that sheds light on both the individual and broader historical context surrounding religion and power dynamics during that era. It serves as a testament to Abdullah Efendi's influence and contributions while offering viewers an opportunity to delve into Turkey's rich cultural heritage.
