$240.25List Price

About the Item

This is a rare print depicting "Hussein Pascha" from the year 1828. The image shows a man dressed in elaborate, traditional Ottoman attire, including a richly decorated robe with fur trim, a heavily adorned chest with jewelry, and a distinctive turban with a large gem and plume. Hussein Pascha refers to an individual who held the title of "Pasha," a high-ranking officer or governor in the Ottoman Empire. The specific Hussein Pasha depicted could be any of the various historical figures with this name who served the Ottoman Empire in different capacities. The print was likely produced by European artists or publishers who specialized in creating and selling images of prominent figures from the Ottoman Empire to a Western audience. The style and subject matter are consistent with Orientalist art trends in Europe during the 19th century. However, without a signature or further details, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact artist or publisher. If the figure depicted in the print titled "Hussein Pascha" from 1828 was a person alive at that time, we would be looking at an individual who held the title of "Pasha" during the early 19th century within the Ottoman Empire. Here are a few possibilities: 1. Hüseyin Pasha (Kavalalı) (died 1849) - Background: Known as "Kavalalı" Hüseyin Pasha, he was a prominent Ottoman statesman and military leader during the early 19th century. He was related to Muhammad Ali Pasha of Egypt, a significant figure in Ottoman and Egyptian history. - Role: Hüseyin Pasha was involved in various military and administrative roles, including serving in the Egyptian campaigns and the Ottoman administration. He was an influential figure in the Ottoman modernization efforts and held various governorships. - Context: By 1828, Hüseyin Pasha would have been an active figure in the Ottoman military and administration, making him a plausible candidate for the figure depicted in the print. 2. Hüseyin Pasha, Governor of Morea - Background: During the Greek War of Independence (1821–1830), several Ottoman governors named Hüseyin Pasha were appointed in various regions, including the Peloponnese (Morea). These individuals were involved in military campaigns against Greek revolutionaries. - Role: As a governor and military leader, a Hüseyin Pasha involved in the suppression of the Greek revolt could have been a figure of enough importance to be depicted in a print from that time. 3. Hüseyin Rauf Pasha (1779–1860) - Background: Rauf Pasha was a prominent Ottoman admiral and statesman who served as the Grand Vizier in the early 19th century. He held various high-ranking positions within the Ottoman administration. - Role: His career spanned critical moments in Ottoman history, including naval reforms and campaigns. As a significant figure in the 1820s, he could have been the subject of the print, especially given his prominence in military and governmental roles. 4. Other Local Governors or Military Commanders - Background: The title "Pasha" was used for many local governors, military commanders, and high-ranking officials throughout the Ottoman Empire. During the early 19th century, there were numerous figures named Hüseyin Pasha who held these titles across different regions, including the Balkans, Egypt, and the Middle East. - Role: Any of these figures who had gained prominence by 1828 through their roles in administration, military campaigns, or governance could have been commemorated in a print of this nature. Conclusion: Given the date of the print (1828), the most likely candidates are figures like Hüseyin Pasha Kavalalı, who were active in the Ottoman Empire during that period. The print might depict a military or administrative leader of significant status during the early 19th century, especially one involved in the empire's modernization efforts or key military campaigns. Without more specific identifying details, it remains open to interpretation which Hüseyin Pasha is depicted, but those mentioned above are among the most likely candidates.
