Sultan Suleyman I (1494-1566), also known as 'Suleyman the Magnificent' and 'Suleyman the Lawmaker', was the 10th and longest reigning sultan of the Ottoman empire. He personally led his armies to conquer Transylvania, the Caspian, much of the Middle East and the Maghreb. In this painting he receives Stephen Zapolya, the king of Hungary. Aged 72, Suleyman is depicted as old and weak, and an air of solemnity permeates the scene.
