Faint footprints are just visible below the deep blue area of paint 👣 The painting's title 'The Siege of Constantinople' refers to the capture of the city we now know as Istanbul, by the Ottoman army in 1453. The red and orange evoke the battles and fires of the conflict, while the thin intersecting lines give a sense of fragmentation, or maybe recall the layout of a city.
