EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Boluch-Bassi, Officer of the Janissaries, 1780" transports us back to a time when the Ottoman Empire reigned supreme. Created by Pierre Duflos in 1780 and now part of a private collection, this print showcases the elite Turkish infantrymen known as Janissaries. The officer depicted in this artwork exudes an air of confidence and pride. With his hands firmly placed on his hips and a defiant gaze in his eyes, he stands tall and commands attention. His bearded face adds to his authoritative presence while also reflecting the fashion trends of that era. Dressed in exotic robes adorned with intricate details and accompanied by an elaborate headdress complete with a plume, this officer embodies the essence of orientalism. The artist's keen eye for detail brings out every fold in his robe and captures the essence of Eastern fashion during that period. As we admire this illustration from Recueil des Estampes, representant les Rangs et les Dignites, suivant le Costume de toutes les Nations existantes (published in Paris 1780), we are transported to another world - one where levantine culture thrived alongside military might. This print serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic mastery. Through its vibrant colours and meticulous craftsmanship, this artwork allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural richness found within different nations throughout history. It is truly a remarkable piece that invites us to delve
