Rodosizade Ahmed Fethi Paşa, (b. 1801 - d. 1858), was an Ottoman marshal, ambassador and industrialist. Prior to becoming a Marshal, Ahmed served as ambassador to Russia in 1833, Austria in 1834-1836 and France in 1837-1839.〔Wendy M. K. Shaw, ''Possessors and Possessed: Museums, Archaeology, and the Visualization of History in the Late Ottoman Empire'', (University of California Press, 2003), 47. 〕 His last diplomatic assignment was as the representative of the Ottoman Empire at Queen Victoria's coronation.〔 In 1839, Ahmed returned to Constantinople for Sultan Abdulmecid I's coronation and to marry Abdulmecid's sister Atiye Sultan.〔Wendy M. K. Shaw, ''Possessors and Possessed: Museums, Archaeology, and the Visualization of History in the Late Ottoman Empire'', 48. 〕 As an industrialist he was intent on bringing the Ottoman Empire into the modern age. Ahmed started steel factories and the famous Beykoz porcelain factory, which carried the insignia Product of Istanbul (''Eser-i Istanbul'').〔 In 1846, Ahmed, now marshal of the Imperial arsenal,〔Wendy M. K. Shaw, ''Possessors and Possessed: Museums, Archaeology, and the Visualization of History in the Late Ottoman Empire'', 46. 〕 turned the Hagia Irene into a military antiques museum.〔''Museums and Narratives of Display from the late Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic'', Wendy Shaw, Muqarnas, Vol.XXIV, (Brill, 2007), 256.〕 It is possible Ahmed gained his inspiration for the conversion of the Hagia Irene into a museum, from touring European museums during his career as an ambassador.〔Wendy M. K. Shaw, ''Possessors and Possessed: Museums, Archaeology, and the Visualization of History in the Late Ottoman Empire'', 54. 〕 Through his work, he created the first Ottoman museum.〔 == Descendants == From his Marriage with Atiye Sultan he got two daughters: Seniye Hanımsultan (b.3.10.1843 - d.10.12.1919) and Feride Hanımsultan (b.30.5.1847 - d.1920) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ahmed Fethi Pasha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
