Takovo Uprising (Serbian: Takovski ustanak) is a painting by Paja Jovanović (born: Vršac, 1859; died: Vienna 1957), one of the greatest Serbian realist painters off all time. It represents the start of the Second Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman Empire in Takovo, 1815. The painting represents chieftain Miloš Obrenović, founder of the House of Obrenović, pleadging an oath in front of the people and saying the legendary words: Here I am and here you are: War to the Turks!
Its estimated value is €3,000,000. At the moment, it is on display in a museum dedicated to the start of the Second Serbian uprising in Takovo.
