Title

Entry of the Crusaders in Constantinople

Description

This painting by Delacrois was commissioned by Louis-Philippe, the last king of France. It shows a scene from the Fourth Crusade, wherein the Crusaders decide to sack the city of Constantinople instead of continuing on to invade the Muslin East and Jerusalem. Baldwin I is shown leading the procession through the streets of Constantinople, while desperate locals crowd around. The painting was poorly received at the 1841 Salon.
