This is not a siege, it is the Turks cut the Armenian population in 1915 or earlier, in 1890-X.

Or is it killing Turks women and children in the Church.Sofia the capture of Constantinople (Constantinople) in 1453)

mileva, K. Makovsky. Bulgarian Martyr
In 1876 in Bulgaria was under Turkish rule, popular uprising, brutally suppressed by the Turkish authorities. Shortly after the tragic events which galvanized the whole world, the Balkans was a famous Russian artist Konstantin Makovsky. Stories about the atrocities of the Turks made a temperamental painter so strong an impression that it is generally not prone to image tragedies and dramas, conceives and in a short time creates a large canvas titled "Bulgarian Martyr". In 1877, the artist presents a picture at an exhibition in St. Petersburg, planning all the money from the sale of the product to send to Bulgaria to help the affected population.
Portraying what is happening in the temple massacre of the Turks over the defenseless women and children, the artist contrasts the animal nature of the invaders and the perfect beauty of a man, dying in the Prime of life. As a great love of life and a passionate admirer of all the beautiful Konstantin Makovsky boldly enters in such a dramatic storyline Nudes. Today we can confidently say that for the creation of a Central female character the artist posed his wife Julia V. letkov, which the latter himself was considered a standard of beauty.
