EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Sultan Ahmed III, c. 1708" transports us back to the grandeur and opulence of the Ottoman Empire. The image showcases Sultan Ahmed III (1673-1736), a powerful ruler known for his progressive reforms and patronage of the arts. The Sultan is depicted in full regalia, exuding authority and elegance. His majestic presence is enhanced by his richly embellished attire, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors that reflect the exoticism of Eastern fashion. A magnificent headdress crowns his head, symbolizing his royal status. The artist behind this masterpiece is Jean Baptiste Vanmour (1671-1737), who skillfully captures every detail with precision and finesse. Through Vanmour's artistry, we are transported into a world where courtiers surround the Sultan on horseback, emphasizing both power and nobility. This print originates from "Receuil de Cent Estampes representante differentes Nations du Levant" (Collection of One Hundred Prints Representing the Different Nations of the Levant). This ambitious project was initiated by Charles de Ferriol (1652-1722), French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1699 to 1711. With its historical significance and artistic mastery, this print serves as a window into an era long gone but not forgotten. It reminds us of the cultural exchange between East and West during this period while celebrating the splendor of Sultan Ahmed III's reign in
