EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Chief Janissary" from the renowned Recueil d'estampes sur les Costumes du Levant collection. Engraved by Gerard Jean Baptiste Scotin in 1707-08, this colored engraving is a true masterpiece of the French School from the 18th century. The Chief Janissary, known as the Le Janissaire Aga, stands proudly in his traditional Turkish Ottoman attire. As commander of the janissaries, an elite infantry unit in Turkey, he exudes power and authority. His ornate costume reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors. This print is part of a larger project initiated by M. de Ferriol, the French Ambassador to the Sublime Porte at that time. The Recueil d'estampes sur les Costumes du Levant collection was created to document and preserve various costumes from different regions of Levant (the Eastern Mediterranean). It serves as a valuable resource for studying historical clothing styles and traditions. Housed within a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this particular piece captures not only artistic excellence but also provides insight into Ottoman history and culture. Its availability through Bridgeman Images allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate this remarkable representation of Turkish military leadership during that era.
