EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of history - an Imperial Ottoman Calendar made exclusively for Sultan Abdulmecid I. The calendar, now held in a private collection, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Ottoman Empire. Painted with meticulous detail using gouache on cardboard, this artwork beautifully combines elements of mythology, allegory, and literature. It transports us back to a time when sultans reigned supreme and their patronage nurtured the flourishing arts scene in Turkey. The calendar's intricate design features gold and silver accents that shimmer against a rich backdrop. Each month is adorned with vibrant illustrations depicting scenes from oriental folklore and historical events significant to the empire. Crafted by Sadullah Mehmet around 1840, this masterpiece not only served as a practical tool but also as a symbol of power and prestige for Sultan Abdulmecid I. Its presence would have graced his palace walls while reminding all who beheld it of his authority as ruler. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported into an era where fine art merged seamlessly with political symbolism. It serves as a reminder of the cultural legacy left behind by Sultan Abdulmecid I and his contribution to the artistic heritage of the Ottoman Empire.
