Jan-Baptiste Vanmour (1671–1737) was a Flemish painter renowned for his detailed and vivid portraits, particularly those depicting the Ottoman Empire's diverse and intricate society during the early 18th century. Vanmour's works are celebrated for their ethnographic precision and artistic finesse, offering a unique window into the cultural and social dynamics of the period. Born in Valenciennes, which was then part of the Spanish Netherlands, Vanmour moved to Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) in 1699. His relocation was facilitated by the French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, Charles de Ferriol, who commissioned him to document the various aspects of Ottoman life.

Vanmour's portraits are distinguished by their meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color, capturing the elaborate costumes, textiles, and settings that characterized the Ottoman elite and common folk alike. His works often feature sultans, dignitaries, and members of the diplomatic corps, as well as scenes from daily life, providing a comprehensive visual record of the era. One of his most notable series includes the portraits of the ambassadors and their entourages, which were later published as engravings in the book "Recueil de cent estampes représentant différentes nations du Levant" (Collection of One Hundred Prints Representing Different Nations of the Levant) in 1714.

Vanmour's artistic style blends the precision of Flemish painting with the exotic allure of the Orient, making his portraits not only valuable historical documents but also captivating works of art. His ability to convey the subtleties of expression and the richness of attire has earned him a lasting legacy in the art world. Today, Vanmour's portraits are housed in various prestigious collections, including the Louvre in Paris and the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, where they continue to be studied and admired for their cultural and historical significance.
