The Destruction of the Turkish Fleet
Academician / German / Paintings (Reproductions) / Russian / Sea Scapes - 12 months ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of “Die Zerstorung der turkischen Flotte in der Schlacht von Tschesme” of 1771 by Jakob Philipp Hackert. The Battle of Chesma occurred on July 5, 6 and 7, 1770 near the island of Chios in the Aegean Sea. It was part of the Orlov Revolt in which Russian officers attempted to rally the Greeks of the Peloponnese to throw off Turkish oppression. In the Battle of Chesma, the Turkish fleet was destroyed and the Russians were able to control the Aegean for some years. This also sparked the rebellion against Turkish rule of non-Greek Christian peoples of the Balkans. This work is 220 cm wide and 162.5 cm high and is in the Hermitage State Museum in St. Petersburg.
