About the Item

The fall of Eger - III. Mehmed's tent Ottoman Sultan Mehmed's tent in the autumn of 1596, during the siege of Eger Castle, on a contemporary engraving. III. Sultan Mehmed's army marched against Eger on September 20, whose garrison surrendered the castle on October 13. The city was then in Turkish hands until December 1687. This image depicts a historical engraving titled "Il Grandissimo Padiglione di Sultano Mehemet Imperatore di Turchi," which translates to "The Grand Pavilion of Sultan Mehmet, Emperor of the Turks." The text suggests that the scene illustrates the pavilion as it was found during a battle with the Imperial Army at Agria on October 21, 1596. The engraving shows a large, ornate tent surrounded by various military activities. Soldiers, cannons, and cavalry are depicted engaging in battle, with various weapons and flags evident in the scene. The central tent appears to be a command center, where Sultan Mehmet was stationed during the battle. This original antique print provides a glimpse into the military encampments and the nature of warfare during the late 16th century. The detailed representation of the tent and the surrounding battle activities offers valuable insight into historical military strategies and the grandeur associated with the Ottoman Empire's military leadership. The engraver of this print is identified in the text at the bottom right corner of the image. The text reads "Franco fecit," which means "Franco made this." This indicates that the engraver is likely a person named Franco. The full text at the bottom of the image reads: "Il Grandissimo Padiglione di Sultano Mehemet Imperatore di Turchi nel modo che si trovò al tempo del fatto d'Arme successo con l'Essercito Imperiale sotto Agria di 21. Ottobre, 1596." "Franco fecit" suggests that Franco is responsible for creating this engraving. Possibly Giacomo Franco (1550 in Urbino (?) – 1620 in Venice), who was an Italian engraver and publisher. More research needed. The engraving "Il Grandissimo Padiglione di Sultano Mehemet Imperatore di Turchi" was created in the year 1696. The date is mentioned in the lower part of the engraving, where it states "Agria di 21. Ottobre, 1596" and further details suggest it was commemorating the event a century later, making the engraving from 1696.
