Image description

In 1683 Francois Pidou, Chevalier de Saint-Olon (1646-1720), Ambassador of King Louis XIV, was sent to the court of Sultan Moulay Ismal (reg. 1672-1727) in Meknes, the capital of Morocco. The dual purpose of the embassy was the conclusion of an alliance with Morocco against Turkey, which was disrupting French shipping in the Mediterranean, and the negotiation of freedom for French slaves. On his return to France, Saint-Olon recounted his experiences in a book, Relation de l'Empire de Maroc. ou l'on voit la situation du Pays, les moeurs, Cotumes, gouvernement, Rligion & Politique des Habitants (Paris, 1695), which was almost certainly used by the artist for this composition
