“Painter Van Mour, who came to Istanbul with Ferriol in 1699 and stayed there for 37 years until his death, witnessed the sultanate of Ahmed II, the grand vizier position of Amat İbrahim Paşa, the Tulip Era and Patrona Halil riot. With the order of Ferriol, Van Mour painted the sultan as well as palace officials, religious men, dervishes, artisans, ethnic groups and social events. This caused him to leave a mark in history. Following his 12 year mission, the ambassador returned to his country in 1711 and presented Mour’s paintings to the French King Louis XIV. Some 102 drawings by Van Mour were published in Paris in 1714 with the title ‘Recueil de Cent Estampes Representant du differentes Nations du Levant.’”
