Sultan Ahmet III (1673-1736) was the 23rd Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, reigning from 1703 to 1730. Born on December 30, 1673, in the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, he was the son of Sultan Mehmed IV and Emetullah Rabia Gülnuş Sultan. Ahmet III ascended to the throne following the deposition of his brother, Mustafa II, in the wake of the Edirne Event, a military rebellion that underscored the growing discontent within the empire.

Ahmet III's reign is particularly noted for the Tulip Era (Lâle Devri), a period characterized by a relative peace, cultural flourishing, and the introduction of European influences into Ottoman society. This era, which lasted from 1718 to 1730, saw significant developments in arts, architecture, and literature. The Sultan himself was a patron of the arts and an avid supporter of cultural activities. The Tulip Era is named after the popularity of tulip cultivation and the flower's symbolic association with the period's opulence and aesthetic sensibilities.

One of the most notable artistic figures of Ahmet III's court was Levni, an Ottoman painter and miniaturist. Levni is renowned for his detailed and vibrant works that capture the essence of the Tulip Era. Among his significant contributions is the series of portraits depicting the Sultan and his court, including "Sultan Ahmet III and the Heir to the Throne." This work exemplifies Levni's mastery in portraying the grandeur and intricate details of the Ottoman elite, reflecting the cultural and artistic zenith of Ahmet III's reign.

Ahmet III's rule came to an end with the Patrona Halil Rebellion in 1730, which was fueled by economic difficulties and dissatisfaction with the Sultan's policies. He was deposed and succeeded by his nephew, Mahmud I. Ahmet III spent the remainder of his life under house arrest in the Topkapi Palace, where he died on July 1, 1736. His legacy, particularly the cultural achievements of the Tulip Era, continues to be a subject of interest and admiration in Ottoman history.
