Scenes from Turkish Life, Oil on canvas by J.B. Van Mour, France, 18th century
Jean-Baptiste Van Mour, or Vanmour, (Valenciennes, January 9, 1671 – Constantinople, January 22, 1737[1]), was a Flemish painter who became a naturalized French citizen, known for his detailed portraits of life in the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Sultan Ahmed III.
Depicting audiences with the sultan became van Mour’s specialty; he need only change the setting and a few faces. Van Mour worked with assistants to fulfill all his obligations. In 1725, he was granted the extraordinary title of Peintre Ordinaire du Roy en Levant in recognition of his work and the importance of the Levant to the French government.
