EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Selim II, also known as Sari or the Blonde Sultan, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1566 to 1574. Selim II is depicted here in traditional Ottoman attire, wearing a tall, conical turban and a flowing sari, which was a distinctive feature of the Ottoman court. The Sultan's blonde hair, a rarity among the Ottoman rulers, adds to his unique appearance. Selim II was born in 1524 and became Sultan at the age of 40 following the death of his father, Suleiman the Magnificent. His reign was marked by internal instability and external threats, including rebellions in the Balkans and the Mediterranean. Selim II was also known as the "Sot Sultan" due to his reputation for excessive drinking. Despite his personal vices, Selim II continued the Ottoman tradition of patronage of the arts and sciences. He supported architects, poets, and musicians, and commissioned several significant buildings, including the Rustem Pasha Mosque in Istanbul. This portrait, created during Selim II's reign, showcases the Sultan's regal presence and the opulence of the Ottoman court. The sword at his side is a reminder of his military power and the authority of the Ottoman Empire. The intricate detail of the Sultan's turban and the rich textures of his robe demonstrate the skill of the artist, likely a European painter working in the Ottoman court during the late 16th century. This image provides a glimpse into the complex and fascinating world of Selim II and the Ottoman Empire during a time of transition and change.
