Feather Ottoman Empire Suleyman Sultan Workmanship
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful and majestic figure of Suleiman the Magnificent, one of history's most renowned rulers. Created in 1535 by Agostino Musi, also known as Agostino Veneziano, this engraving captures the essence of Suleiman's reign as the tenth and longest-reigning Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Intriguingly, we learn that in 1532, French Ambassador Antonio Rincon presented Suleiman with an extravagant Tiara made in Venice for a staggering sum of 115,000 Ducats. This head ornament or crown is adorned with diamonds, pearls, and other precious gems meticulously crafted by Venetian goldsmiths. The tiara itself resembles an opulent helmet featuring four crowns - one more than even the Pope wore - along with a pseudo-Roman plume. The fine workmanship evident in this piece is truly remarkable. It highlights not only Suleiman's regal stature but also his appreciation for luxury and grandeur. The feathered plume adds an air of elegance to his already impressive appearance. As we delve into this image from Fine Art Finder's private collection, it offers us a glimpse into both historical significance and artistic brilliance. Through this engraving, we can appreciate Suleiman's influence on Turkish culture during his reign while marveling at the intricate craftsmanship displayed within his ornate tiara.
