De moefti, head of religious affairs, Jean Baptiste Vanmour, c. 1727 - c. 1730 Canvas Print
Vanmour probably painted the portrait of Abdullah Efendi (1680?-1743). This originally Greek clergyman was attached to the court from 1718 in the function of Seyh ül Islam and had to leave the field after the uprising of 1730. He was exiled, but returned in silence to Istanbul where he died in 1743. Abdullah possessed an impressive collection of legally religious documents and played a crucial role in the introduction of printing in the Ottoman Empire.
