SynopsisIn 1657 King Charles X Gustaf of Sweden sent Claes Rålamb as an envoy to Sultan Mehmed IV's court. While he was there Rålamb 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 Rålamb's paintings are published here in 'The Sultan's Procession'.
