The Sultan's Procession: The Swedish Embassy to Sultan Mehmed IV in 1657-1658 And the Ralamb Paintings - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
In 1657, King Charles X Gustaf of Sweden sent Claes Ralamb as an envoy to Sultan Mehmed IV's court. While he was there, Ralamb commissioned 20 large paintings in oil on canvas, depicting an imperial procession through Istanbul in September 1657, providing a revealing insight into the court of Sultan Mehmed IV in Ottoman Turkey. For the first time, Ralamb's paintings are published here in "The Sultan's Procession". This beautifully illustrated book - containing over 150 colour illustrations - comprehensively covers the full history of the paintings, including a technical analysis from the conservation of one of the paintings. The book also provides a full history of Claes Ralamb and his mission, including the political background of the Swedish embassy, Ralamb's biography and English translations of primary sources in Swedish and Turkish archives. Among the illustrations are over 100 watercolours of people in the Ottoman society from the costume album acquired by Ralamb in Istanbul. These unique Ralamb paintings provide a rare window into life at the Ottoman court in the 17th century.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. ADAHL, KARIN (Editor) The Sultan's procession: The Swedish Embassy to Sultan Mehmed IV in 1657-1658 and the Ralamb paintings. Istanbul: Swedish Research Institut in Istanbul / Astra Zeneca, 2006. 4to., 343 p., color and b/w ills. Original binding. Dust wrapper. Very good Oversize and very heavy volume. Please contact for postage cost. ISBN: 9186884182 CATALOG: Turkish & Islamic arts KEYWORDS: History of art Istanbul - Constantinople Ottoman Court Ottoman Swedish relation In 1657 the Swedish king Charles X Gustaf sent his envoy Claes Ralamb to the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed IV and the Sublime Porte to promote good relations between Sweden and the Ottoman empire. Claes Ralamb arrived in Istanbul in May 1657 and stayed until late January 1658. The cultural legacy of his embassy would be important, even unique. In Ralamb's diary, published in Swedish and in English, we find interesting and detailed information about everyday life in the Ottoman world. An album with 121 small pictures in water colours of men and women in characteristic outfits acquired by Ralamb render visual life to Ralamb's texts. Most important are twenty large paintings depicting an imperial procession of the Ottoman Sultan and hundreds of his courtiers parading through the streets of Istanbul, moving from the Topkapi Palas to Edirne for the hunt, the favourite pleasure of Mehmed IV. An impressive event immortalized in the paintings commissioned by Ralamb. The Ralamb paintings are unique artistic documents of 17th century Ottoman world and the earliest pictorial evidence of the Swedish interest and admiration of its culture. The Ralamb project has been conducted by the Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul and nine researchers from Swedan, Turkey and Poland with the support of AstraZeneca Turkey.
