Sinking of the frigate Ertuğrul

Nuri was one of the first Turkish Western-style painters to use oil paints in his pictures. His pictures mostly dealt with the theme of the sea. Whereby in his pictures, which often depicted sea battles and warships, his military background is clearly reflected. His better-known works include the sinking of the Ertuğrul in Tokyo Bay and the Battle of Preveze . Most of his paintings now hang in the Istanbul Maritime Museum and the Istanbul Military Museum.
