Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha, his Giants and tiny Frenchmen

Thank you to @Silveryou for showing me this painting.

• Now we need to find some docs they might have missed.
• Pargalı Ibrahim Pasha (c. 1495 – 1536)

I think this painting confirms the other one with turkish giants parading in Paris. I think this Ibrahim Pasha should be this one though (maybe) Nevşehirli Damat Ibrahim Pasha.
And the ambassador this one Jean-Baptiste Louis Picon.

The gold rush begins.

Oops. That’s even closer: 1662-1730

Wondering if this building still exists. Room dimensions and the height of the door on the right could definitely help out here.

Should be the Kubbealtı, a place in the Topkapı Palace, Istanbul - Imperial Council (Ottoman Empire)

By the way... what is going on here?

It seems many fake paintings have been spread all over the internet. I remember clearly that the first is the original one though. Here an article from 2014 which used the original The Ottoman Empire’s No 2 man.

The original is confirmed on the wiki of Jean-Baptiste Louis Picon and on the French wiki of the author himself Jean-Baptiste van Mour.
