EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in history, as Pope Pius II blesses the fleet about to embark on a holy mission to the Holy Land. The focal point of the image is The Prince Djem, also known as The Little Turk, who stands out with his striking presence and intricate costume. Painted by Bernardino di Betto, also known as Pinturicchio, this fresco showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The composition of the painting is rich with symbolism and cultural significance. Surrounding The Prince Djem are various figures that add depth and context to the scene. Notably, Hassan Zacharias, Prince of Samos can be seen kneeling beside him while Jem Sultan, son of Sultan Mehmet II stands tall wearing a white turban. The artist masterfully incorporates elements from both Eastern and Western cultures into this piece. From the ornate turbans worn by some characters to the Italian flag proudly displayed in the background, it serves as a reminder of how art can bridge different worlds. This artwork not only highlights historical events but also exemplifies Renaissance art at its finest. Pinturicchio's meticulous brushstrokes bring life to each figure portrayed on this mural-like painting found in Siena's Piccolomini Library within Duomo. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into a significant moment in time where religion meets politics and culture intertwines with power dynamics.
