The Chios massacre
Apr 1822 — Ottoman forces kill or enslave most of a prosperous island’s Greek population — tens of thousands of people. Delacroix’s painting carried it into every European parlor. Remember.
This is one scene of Chapter 11 — The Age of Restoration in The Age of Revolutions, 1775–1848.
