EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a page from the Shahnama-i Al-i Osman, or Royal Book of the House of Osman, created in the 1550s during the reign of Sultan Suleyman, also known as Suleiman the Magnificent (1494-1566). The page depicts Suleiman in the guise of King Solomon, an Old Testament figure renowned for his wisdom and wealth. The Sultan is shown seated on a magnificent throne, adorned in rich robes and a gold-embroidered turban, with a golden scepter in one hand and a globe in the other. The intricate design of the throne, the detailed representation of the Sultan's clothes, and the opulent use of color and gold on the paper reflect the grandeur and splendor of the Ottoman Empire during Suleiman's reign. The Shahnama-i Al-i Osman was a valuable literary and artistic work, showcasing the power and prestige of the Ottoman monarchy. This page is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Islamic world and the enduring influence of the Old Testament in Islamic literature and art. The page is now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a leading institution dedicated to collecting, preserving, and presenting art from around the world.
