"Geschiedenis toont een landkaart van het Turkse Rijk," created in 1733 by Dutch artist Jan Caspar Philips, is an etching depicting a map of the Ottoman Empire held by an angel. Surrounding the angel are figures dressed in Ottoman garb. The piece was likely commissioned for the publication "Hedendaagsche Historie," a book on the contemporary state of all nations. This detailed and historically significant artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the Dutch fascination with the Ottoman Empire in the 18th century.
