Came across this artist and was stunned when i found this painting showing a Greek slave girl under the Ottoman rule ready to be sold.

It's a small painting but has a deep message how back then things for the Greeks were not rainbows and roses like the Turks claim it was back then during the Ottoman occupation.

Slave for sale, José Jiménez Aranda, 1897.

A young, completely nude slave sits on a carpet. The sign hanging from her neck bears a Greek inscription; Rhódon (Rose), 18 years old, on sale for 800 coins, that offers her as merchandise at an Oriental market. She chastely hangs her head to hide her shame. The feet of her possible purchasers are visible behind her as they crown around to contemplate her defenseless nudity.

The original is in the National Museum of Prado, Spain. The commentary is from the museum.

There is not insight about the location or historical period in which this event takes place. Of course, slavery was indeed widely practiced in the Ottoman Empire and hundreds of thousands of Greeks were sold as slaves. But there is no clear information about the setting of this particular painting. The Greek inscription might suggest it was at a point earlier in time, when Greek was used as a lingua franca in the oriental caravans and bazaars. While Greek was still widely spoken in the Ottoman Empire, it was not the lingua franca anymore. Of course, we also can’t know what was the extent of the Spanish artist’s lingual and historical knowledge in this.
