The Capture of Malta in
1530 by Philippe Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, Grand Master of the Order
of Knights Hospitaller, (1839) by the French painter René Théodore
Berthon (1776–1859). Despite of the name of the painting Malta
wasn't captured but given to Knights Hospitaller in by 1530 Emperor
Charles V after they lost Rhodes. So it's evidently a kind of heroic
hokum.
