The page is the work of the Ottoman painter Levni, who signed his name in gold in one of the patterns in the carpet beneath the sultans feet. Mustafa II ascended to the throne in 1695, abdicated in 1703, and died the following year. We know of an album of portraits of twelve sultans (from Osman I to Murad III) that was created in 1579. Another album dates to 1583, and there are genealogies (silsilename) that began to appear in the late 16th century, illustrated with portraits in medallions. The tradition became solidly established and was continued thereafter. These portraits contributed to the glorification of the dynasty and are connected with the Ottoman taste for the historiography of the empire. Here, the sovereign - the twenty-second in the dynasty - is depicted in military garb, his helmet covered with the green turban of the caliph and a sumptuous plume. Two sentinels with red caps - one of whom holds the sovereigns quiver - are members of the sultans personal guards. The inscription above this scene reads: Sultan Mustafa Khan II, may the mercy of God be upon him. ![]() The Louvres portrait, depicting the sultan as a warrior clad in armor, is relatively rare - it was probably meant to emphasize Mustafas role as commander in chief. Sultan Mustafa Ii Series Of BattlesThe Treaty of Karlowitz was signed only in 1699, after a long series of battles in which the sultan himself took part. We know of one other portrait somewhat similar to this one, in which Levni depicted the sultan Murad IV (1623-40) - who had also taken part in a number of military operations - with armor decorated slightly differently. The Topkapi Palace Museum has a portrait of Ahmet III, Mustafas brother and successor, in which several characteristics of the Louvre portrait can be seen. Levni Abducelil Celebi was born in 1680 and died around 1732. In the service of the court at Istanbul, he introduced European elements into Ottoman painting, while at the same time preserving its basic nature. In addition to his portraits and albums, he illustrated a large number of manuscripts. These include the Surname-i Vehbi, which describes festivities that took place in 1720, and which was presented to Ahmet III in 1727 and 1728. Dimitrie Cantemir, who lived in Istanbul from 1701 to 1710, referred to Levni as an imperial painter, based on the 22 portraits of sultans that Cantemir turned into engravings to illustrate his History of the Growth and Decay of the Othman sic Empire (London, 1734).
