Description

Русский: Картина «Болгарские мученицы» была написана знаменитым русским художником Константином Маковским по возвращении его из поездки на Балканы. Летом 1877 года Маковский уехал на Балканы, где делал зарисовки, двигаясь вслед за наступающей русской армией по Сербии и Болгарии. Рассказы очевидцев о жестоком подавлении турецкими властями народного восстания, вспыхнувшего в Болгарии в 1876 году, и о зверствах башибузуков против мирного населения произвели сильное впечатление на художника. Маковский создает полотно в короткий срок и в 1877 году представляет картину на выставке в Петербурге, планируя все деньги от продажи произведения направить в Болгарию в помощь пострадавшему населению. Русско-турецкая война (1877—1878)

English: "The Bulgarian Martyresses", 1877 painting by the Russian painter Konstantin Makovsky, depicting the rape of Bulgarian women by Ottoman bashi-bazouks during the repression of the April Uprising a year earlier, served to mobilise public support for the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) waged with the proclaimed aim of liberating the Bulgarians.
