"Le Capi-Aga, plate 5 from Recueil de Cent Estampes representant differentes Nations du Levant tirees sur les Tableaux Peints d'apres Nature..." is a significant work from the early 18th century, engraved by Gérard Jean-Baptiste Scotin II (1671-1716) and based on a painting by Jean Baptiste Vanmour (1671-1737). This piece is part of a larger collection titled "Recueil de Cent Estampes représentant différentes Nations du Levant," which was published between 1707 and 1708. The collection is notable for its detailed and vivid portrayal of the diverse peoples and costumes of the Levant, a region that encompasses parts of modern-day Turkey, Greece, Syria, and Lebanon, among others.

Jean Baptiste Vanmour, a French painter, spent a significant portion of his career in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), where he was commissioned by the French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire to document the life, people, and customs of the region. His works are invaluable historical records of the Ottoman Empire's cultural diversity and richness during the early 18th century. Vanmour's paintings, characterized by their meticulous detail and vibrant colors, served as the basis for the engravings in the collection.

Gérard Jean-Baptiste Scotin II, a renowned French engraver, was responsible for translating Vanmour's paintings into engravings. Scotin's skillful work preserved the intricate details and lively essence of the original paintings, making the collection a masterpiece of engraving art of the period. "Le Capi-Aga," as plate 5 of the series, depicts the Capi Aga, an official in the Ottoman Empire, showcasing the elaborate costume and dignified posture associated with his position.

The "Recueil de Cent Estampes" collection, including "Le Capi-Aga," is celebrated for its artistic and historical significance. It provides a window into the cultural and social dynamics of the Levant in the early 1700s, offering insights into the interactions between Europe and the Ottoman Empire during this period. The collection remains a valuable resource for historians, art historians, and anyone interested in the cultural heritage of the Levant and the Ottoman Empire.
