Conquest of Constantinople
A Medieval painting of the Conquest of Constantinople by the Crusaders in 1204.
A Medieval painting of the conquest of Constantinople in 2014. In the foreground, crusader ships surround a high-walled castle, with soldiers climbing ladders into the castle and throwing spears. To the right, crusaders stand on the beach, readying their siege. In the castle, soldiers return fire with arrows and spears, and to the left, a Byzantine royal, perhaps the Emperor, watches over the scene.
