He is wearing the formal uniform of an early 19th-century general, complete with a sash, epaulettes, and a high collar. Demetrios sports a mustache as well, and his head is tilted so that he appears to be looking towards the right from the perspective of the viewer. Demetrios Ypsilantis was a prominent figure in the Greek War of Independence, but he arguably gained even more fame in the United States, where he was also revered as a hero by many. The town of Ypsilanti, Michigan, where this bust is located, is also named in honor of the Greek general. https://apps.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/files/original/f375bf233a5717a53f9288cf1a4fdfb0.png 20300ce19518c831fd083000a6ad434e Still Image A static visual representation.

It should be noted that this map depicts borders that were in place before 1821, but most are very similar to those that would be found at the start of the Greek War of Independence. The principalities are surrounded by a green border, while the Ottoman Empire is surrounded by a light red border to the south and east. Bordered in yellow is Hungary, which at the time was a part of the Austrian Empire. The Phanariots, who controlled the Danubian Principalities, were a wealthy and elite group of Greeks from Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire. These Greeks were vital to the Ottoman government, and often served as rulers in the Danubian Principalities in the Sultan’s stead. https://apps.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/files/original/f436da358b2baee0c3d1e53f59db929d.jpg 308e7e5a59a44dbe867c1408b60a0bfb Still Image A static visual representation.

On the left is the Maltese Islands, while on the right is the Ionian Islands, which hug the western coastline of the Greek mainland. From north to south, the major islands islands are Corfu (Greek: Κέρκυρα), Paxo(s) (Greek: Παξοί), Lefkas/Santa Maura (Greek: Λευκάδα), Ithaca (Greek: Ιθάκη), Cephalonia (Greek: Κεφαλονιά), and Zante (Greek: Ζάκυνθος). The last Island of Cerigo (Greek: Κύθηρα) is located in the top right corner of the map. The British gained the Ionian Islands after the Napoleonic Wars, and they were a point of contention during the Greek War of Independence as the English administration on the islands heavily discouraged local Greeks from joining the sepratist movement in the Morea. https://apps.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/files/original/908be09c9c9e232d47ad8d7eaa60a666.jpg 255a4117bf0f0bc1db03e30ce3107242 Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource The Battle of Navarino Subject The topic of the resource Navarino Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Thomas Luny Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Royal Museums Greenwich, London Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1828 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Oil Painting Type The nature or genre of the resource Painting Description An account of the resource The above painting shows two British sailing ships engaging one Turkish and one Egyptian ship. The Turkish and Egyptian vessels on the left and right bear a red flag with a white crescent, while the English ships in the center have white flags with a blue and red cross, respectively. More ships can be seen in the background. Smoke and fire billow from the Turkish ship on the left. In the foreground, there are sailors clinging to remains of a presumably sunken vessel. This painting bucks the trend of heroic and romantic art of the early 19th-century and portrays a horrifying and chaotic battle scene. The battle of Navarino resulted from the decision of Britain, Russia, and France to end the Greek war by fighting against the Ottoman Empire. The battle was a resounding success for the pro-Greek alliance, and it saved the fledgling Greek state from collapse. https://apps.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/files/original/d9d422b87ac1dca1eef6317bbbecb146.JPG 9d2da8fd2c1f81421894302c471157d1 Still Image A static visual representation.

Greek men, women, and children lie emaciated and destitute, while the landscape burns in the distance and a Turkish soldier riding a horse carries away captives. This painting by Eugène Delacroix, with its moving imagery of desperate Greeks being brutalized by the Ottomans, would help to sway public opinion in much of Europe and North America in favor of the Greek cause. https://apps.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/files/original/6685fc991957e2d79c94b1188fe4db46.jpg 6cee133f3e4e680c1043c0d798ee43b9 Still Image A static visual representation.

It is made out of silk, and looks thin and loose. One of the designs depicts Zulfiqar, the legendary split-tipped sword of Ali Ibn Abi Talib (Arabic: عَلِيّ ٱبْن أَبِي طَالِب), a companion to Muhammad. These Zulfiqar flags were standards used by the Ottomans during the Greek War of Independence, and are often attributed to Janissaries and Cavalry. Given the timeframe of the creation of this particular banner, it is not unlikely that it could have been used during the war against the Greeks. https://apps.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/files/original/b86371e31f1472d522246d9afdbabbde.jpg 3819585f390e91479dd77e3115fddbfd Still Image A static visual representation.

He is bearded, mustachioed, and wearing an elaborate turban and headdress as well as a rich, fur-lined coat. The captions below the image reads in Danish, “Mahmud II - Ottoman Emperor”. Mahmud II, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1808 to 1839, was known to be a savvy ruler who at times used ruthless tactics to secure power and legitimacy. He oversaw the empire during the Greek War of Independence, which he thought was sparked by Alexander I of Russia, who he saw as a major threat. Mahmud is also notable for attempting to westernize the Ottoman Empire as well as for killing off the Janissary corps and establishing a European-style army. https://apps.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/files/original/a5444f9c6d80a944fc4affa461d1ade7.jpg d266698852826b7b36887062593a5308 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
