EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ottoman Army Entering a City" takes us back to the last quarter of the 16th century, showcasing an important moment in history. The image is a folio from the Divan of Mahmud Abd al-Baqi, offering a glimpse into the armed forces and military strategies of that era. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to the scene, as we witness soldiers on horseback entering a city through its towering walls. The composition beautifully captures both the grandeur and tension surrounding this event. The artist's skillful brushstrokes depict various elements such as men in traditional Persian attire, adorned with elaborate headgear and turbans. Among them are royal figures like Prince Haidar Mirza Safavi, whose presence adds an air of authority and significance to the scene. As we delve deeper into this masterpiece, it becomes evident that it represents more than just warfare; it symbolizes cultural exchange between empires.
