Opis:

(ostensibly) Müezzinzade Ali Pasha, the Turkish commander at the Battle of Lepanto. Anonymous German broadsheet, c. 1571. Woodcut with stencil and hand colouring on laid paper with letterpress.

"Müezzinzade Ali Pasha is shown full length, wearing a kaftan of costly woven, figured silks. His exotic clothes, turban and long feathery headdress denote his high rank. Although he is shown alive, in the background is a detail of his head on the end of a pole. Behind Ali Pasha is the Turkish (Ottoman) flagship on which he was wounded and subsequently beheaded."
