520 |a In this book, Baskins places Muley Hassan, the ruler of Tunis, center-stage in an analysis of the evolution and production of portraiture and the representation of Hafsid-Hapsburg-Ottoman confrontation. Portraits capture…the multi-faceted struggle for prestige, patronage, and sovereignty in Mediterranean courts. —Palmira Brummett, Professor Emerita, History, University of Tennessee, USA Baskins’ interdisciplinary book opens new directions for the study of portraits and Habsburg visual propaganda about North African campaigns. She also breaks with traditional studies of the 'Muslim other' and presents a case study of fluid permeability and alterity in the Mediterranean. —Borja Franco Llopis, Associate Professor, Art History, National Distance Education University, Madrid, Spain This work is distinguished by its use of a variety of primary sources, and its multifaceted approach, combining history and art history. It is animportant addition to the study of early modern Tunisia in particular, and to acculturation in the Mediterranean in general. —Houssem Eddine Chachia, Assistant Professor, History, University of Tunis, Tunisia This book explores an anonymous sixteenth-century portrait of Muley al-Hassan, the Hafsid king of Tunis (ca. 1528–1550), that bears witness to relations between North Africa, the Habsburgs, and the Ottomans. While Muley al-Hassan appears frequently in the vast literature on Charles V Habsburg, he is overshadowed by the emperor. Here he emerges as a protagonist, a figure whose shifting reputation can be traced well into the seventeenth century. Images of the King of Tunis circulated in broadsheets, ephemeral images made for triumphal entries, manuscripts, tapestry designs, engravings, and books. The ceaseless production of Tunisian imagery allowed Europeans to face their North African counterparts through scenes of battle but also through imaginaryencounters and festive cross-dressing. This book shows how portraits of Hafsid rulers challenge assumptions about the absolute divide between Christian and Muslim, sovereign and subject, the familiar and the foreign, and they put a face on the entangled histories of the early modern Mediterranean. Cristelle L. Baskins is Associate Professor Emeritus, Tufts University, USA.
