EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Ast-chi-Bachi, Cook and Officer of the Janissaries, 18th century" takes us back in time to the Ottoman Empire. Created by Gerard Jean Baptiste Scotin in the 18th century, this print showcases a fascinating blend of artistry and historical significance. The central figure depicted is an Ast-chi-Bachi, who was both a cook and an officer within the renowned Janissary corps. Dressed in traditional Turkish attire, he exudes power and authority while also embodying cultural richness. The intricate details of his costume highlight the craftsmanship involved in creating this artwork. The Janissaries were elite soldiers who served as bodyguards to Ottoman sultans during their reign. They were known for their loyalty and bravery on the battlefield. This engraving offers a glimpse into their world - a world filled with honor, tradition, and military prowess. Through this image, we are transported to another era where warriors like Ast-chi-Bachi played significant roles not only as protectors but also as culinary experts within the empire's hierarchy. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can appreciate this piece from The Stapleton Collection today. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and allows us to delve deeper into cultures that have shaped our present-day society.
