The Janissary - A Glimpse into Ottoman Elite Guard's Majestic Attire
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Janissary" an exquisite engraving from the Collection of Prints of Costumes from the Levant. Created by the talented French artist Philippe Simonneau in 1707-08, this coloured engraving offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the attire and appearance of an elite Ottoman guard for the sultan. Commissioned by M. de Ferriol, the French ambassador at that time, this project aimed to document and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of costumes in the Levant region. The result is a stunning portrayal of a Janissary soldier adorned in opulent clothing and accessories. The Janissary stands tall with pride, his turban elegantly wrapped around his head while fur trim adorns his attire. His regal presence is enhanced by a fur-trimmed cloak draped over one shoulder, exuding both power and sophistication. In one hand, he holds a pipe, adding an air of tranquility amidst his majestic appearance. This engraving not only captures intricate details but also serves as a testament to cross-cultural exchange between France and Ottoman Turkey during the 18th century. Preserved within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, it continues to inspire awe with its artistic finesse and historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in
