EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sultan Selim I, also known as the Grim or the Resolute, mounted on a majestic horse during a thrilling hunting game. The 16th-century miniature, created by the Ottoman School and housed in Istanbul University Library, captures the essence of power and adventure. In this scene from Sultan Selim I's collection of poems called "Divan" he fearlessly confronts a formidable cheetah while astride his steed. The composition exudes energy and intensity as the sultan engages in this exhilarating battle between man and beast. The intricate details of the artwork are truly remarkable. From Sultan Selim I's elaborate turban to his finely crafted hat, every element reflects the opulence of the Ottoman Empire. The vibrant illumination further enhances this visual spectacle, bringing life to both human figures and wildlife alike. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image offers us a glimpse into leisure activities enjoyed by rulers during that era. Hunting was not only an opportunity for entertainment but also served as a display of strength and prowess. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures all these elements through her lens, preserving history within this timeless photograph. As we admire Sultan Selim I's determination amidst nature's challenges, we are reminded of our own capacity for resilience in facing life's obstacles with unwavering resolve.
