Description |
This famous canvas, probably painted in the workshop of Gentile Bellini (d. 1507), depicts the Mamluk governor of Damascus granting and audience to some Venetians at the beginning of the sixteenth century. The very exact description of the Mosque of the Omeyyads and Damascan houses in the picture’s background leads us to suppose that the workshop worked on different studies. The emblems depicted – a cup and two gunpowder vessels – belonged to the sultan Qâ’it Bay. But the date the work was finished: 1511, inscribed under the cavalier, situates this embassy under the reign of Qânsûh al-Ghawrî. The characters appear to be the governor Sîbay, and on the Venetian side Nicolò Malipiero, consul to Damascus that year, or perhaps Pietro Zen, whose face we know from one of Titian’s protraits. This considerable character, who fell to disgrace with the Mamluks because he was involved with the Persian shah Ismâ‘îl, had handed in his accreditation letters in 1508. This is perhaps the moment which is set in the painting. (Press "edit" to read more)
