Turkish Flag - Al Sancak Fotoplatte

Turkish Flag is a painting of boats and yachts in Marmaris Marina bearing the nautical Turkish Flag. The flag of Turkey is a red flag featuring a crescent with a star. The flag is often called Al bayrak (the red flag) and referred to as Al sancak (the red banner) in the Turkish national anthem. The current design of the Turkish flag is directly derived from the late Ottoman flag, which acquired its final form in 1844. The introduction of the white star and crescent on red as the flag of the Ottoman Empire dates to the Tanzimat reforms of 1844. ABOUT THE ART Date Created: 12/23/2014 Tracey Harrington-Simpson
