Additional information
In 1533, Netherlandish artist Pieter Coecke van Aelst (1502–1550) traveled to Istanbul, presumably accompanying Habsburg ambassador Cornelis de Schepper on his first diplomatic mission. Twenty years later, Coecke’s widow, Mayken Verhulst, printed a monumental woodcut frieze by Coecke chronicling his journey to the Ottoman city.
