The Murder of Patrona Halil and his Fellow Rebels — Jean Baptiste Vanmour

Jean Baptiste Vanmour. Painted c. 1730 - c. 1737.

After Mahmud I ascended the throne, the rebels continued to sow unrest. They tried to gain positions in the govern-ment and demanded ever more power. With a sham excuse, Mahmud I summoned them to the palace, where they were killed one by one. Patrona Halil is being overpowered at the right.
