EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the renowned "Portrait of Saladin" painted by Cristofano dell Altissimo in 1566-68. The artwork, displayed at the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy, captures the essence of Saladin, the first sultan of Egypt and Syria and founder of the Ayyubid dynasty. Saladin's imposing presence is evident as he gazes directly at the viewer with a regal demeanor. His bearded face exudes wisdom and strength, symbolizing his leadership during a tumultuous era marked by European Crusaders' presence in the Levant. The painting highlights Saladin's significant achievements as he led Muslim opposition against these Crusaders. At its zenith, his powerful sultanate encompassed vast territories such as Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Hejaz, Yemen, and parts of North Africa. Altissimo masterfully portrays Saladin wearing an intricate horned headdress adorned with royal symbols.
