The Battle of Yesil Kol Nor is a painting depicting a battle, commissioned from Chinese court painters and European Jesuit monks. East Turkestan campaign emperor Qianlong ordered the painting as part of an order of 16 large battle paintings (8m wide by 4m tall) to commemorate battles that took place in the Chinese province of Xinxjiang in Qurman (呼爾滿), in February 1759, resulting in the Chinese successfully regaining control over the province from Muslim Turkmens who had occupied the region following the Chinese ousting of the Dsungars.[1]
