EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Roxelana, also known as Khourrem, Hurrem, or Karima, is depicted as the enigmatic and powerful wife of Suleiman I the Magnificent, the legendary Ottoman ruler who reigned from 1520 to 1566. The portrait, painted by the Flemish artist Theodor de Bry in 1557, captures the essence of Roxelana's allure and influence at the Ottoman court. Born into a Christian family in Hungary, Roxelana was captured as a slave and brought to Istanbul, where she was gifted to Suleiman as a concubine. However, she quickly rose through the ranks to become the sultan's favorite and eventually his wife, bearing him two sons. Roxelana's influence over Suleiman was significant, and she is believed to have wielded power behind the throne, shaping Ottoman policy and politics. The portrait shows Roxelana in regal attire, adorned with jewels and a crown, her gaze steady and confident. Her luxurious robe, embroidered with gold thread and pearls, is a testament to her wealth and status. The intricate patterns and rich colors of the fabric reflect the opulence of the Ottoman court, while the delicate folds of the fabric suggest the artist's mastery of the techniques of the time. The portrait also reveals the cultural exchange that took place at the Ottoman court during the Renaissance period. The influence of European art can be seen in the use of chiaroscuro, the play of light and shadow, and the realistic rendering of the subject's features. At the same time, the portrait retains the distinctive features of Ottoman art, such as the use of gold leaf and intricate calligraphy. Overall, this portrait of Roxelana offers a glimpse into the complex and fascinating world of the Ottoman court during the reign of Suleiman I the Magnificent. It is a reminder of the power and influence of women in history, and the enduring allure of the Ottoman Empire.
