IN ALL ASPECTS OF HIS LIFE
SULTAN MEHMED THE CONQUEROR
“Fatih was a ruler who spent his life on imperial campaigns from Europe to the Black Sea. Writers of the period compared him to Alexander the Great, Hannibal and Caesar. He was also interested in art to the extent of bringing painters from Italy to his country. He knew Arabic, Persian, Italian and Greek. He wanted to know his empire and the world around him through its history and geography. If we were to express Fatih Sultan Mehmed in a single sentence: He was the master of the East and the West.”
