ǂA ǂseries of portraits from the bequest of the counts of Carli at Poreč/Parenzo and pictorial representations of central European envoys to the ottoman court

Abstract

The article deals with eight portraits of the Koper patrician family Carli, preserved ln Poreč Regional Museum. The family members are dressed alla turca to signify their service as dragomans at the Ottoman Porte. Their accurately painted clothes, head dresses and jewellery are discussed in the light of recent costume studies and contemporary travellers' books. The author attempts to identify some of the family members depicted in the portraits on the basis of inscriptions, painted details and comparison with portraits of Central European and Venetian envoys to the Porte.
