Description
English: Portrait of Sultan Mehmed II with a young dignitary, oil on pine panel, 33 by 45.7 cm.; 13 by 18 in. Estimate 300,000 — 500,000 GBP. Photo Sotheby's. This panel is one of only three surviving contemporary or near-contemporary oil paintings depicting the great Sultan Mehmed II Fatih (1430–81), and the last to remain in private hands. It is the only known painting to depict the Sultan with another sitter. It has remained in the collection of the descendants of the family who first bought it back in the early nineteenth century, and appears here on the open market almost certainly for the first time in its history.
Deutsch: Das Doppelporträt zeigt rechts Sultan Mehmed II. und links einen jungen Mann. Es wird vermutet, dass Bellini selbst die beiden Porträts nicht in Istanbul, sondern erst nach seiner Rückkehr nach Italien in Venedig nach einem in Istanbul gezeichneten modello schuf. Der junge Mann wird manchmal als Mehmeds Sohn Cem gedeutet, wofür es aber keinen Nachweis gibt.
Date circa 1481
