EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate costume of Sultan Qansuh, a prominent figure in Egyptian history. The engraving, created by Christoph Krieger in the late 19th century, beautifully captures the grandeur and opulence of this powerful ruler. Sultan Qansuh is depicted seated on a cushion, adorned in an array of regal attire. His large turban commands attention while his green cape exudes authority. A white cassock drapes elegantly over his frame, symbolizing purity and nobility. Completing his ensemble are slippers fit for royalty and a scimitar and shield that speak to his military prowess. The woodblock engraving expertly highlights every intricate detail of Sultan Qansuh's costume, from the delicate patterns on his garments to the ornate decorative frame surrounding him. The collaboration between Gerard Seguin, E. F. Huyot, H. Catenacci, and Fellmann brings this historical figure to life with remarkable precision. Sultan Qansuh was known as Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri and served as the Mamluk Sultan of Egypt during the 15th century until he met his demise at the Battle of Marj Dabiq in 1516. This image serves as a testament to his influence and legacy within North Africa. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece through their Fine Art Finder collection for all to appreciate its historical significance and artistic beauty.
