Death Of Dragut
''Death of Dragut'' is an oil painting by the Maltese artist Giuseppe Calì, from 1867. It depicts the death of the Ottoman general Dragut during the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. Description It measures 225 x 170 cm, and is in the collection of MUŻA in Valletta, Malta. Analysis The painting was Calì's signature work.

During bombardment of Fort St. Elmo, in June 1565, a shot from Fort St. Angelo, across the Grand Harbour, struck the ground close to the Turkish battery.
