4.9/5 (23639 ratings)

Description:The Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, in 1453, brought the name of Mehmet the Conqueror to international recognition, but an absence of any portrait of the twenty-one year-old Muslim sultan. A rediscovered bronze relief has now provided a link to to the protagonist, which extends beyond physical likeness.Drawing upon the portrait medals of Mehmet's Western contemporaries, as well as representations that he was to commission himself in later life, the rediscovery can be aligned with his ascent to power, in the late 1440s, and a vision of empire. The expressive portrait, by an artist as yet to be identified, conveys a sense of the far-sighted ambition that was to take Mehmet to Constantinople and beyond, while its commission reflects a cultural diversity that was to be another hallmark of this enigmatic personality.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
