Antoine Helbert
There is a collection of illustrations by a French illustrator named Antoine Helbert who has drawn the monuments as well as the landscapes of ancient Constantinople based on visual evidence as well as on imagination. The artist ‘has taken great care to resurrect the city of the emperors, with great attention to details and to the sources available. What he can’t find, he invents, but always with a great care for the historical accuracy.’ (https://www.openculture.com/2018/08/french-illustrator-revives-the-byzantine-empire.html)
The artist who has a strong passion for the ancient city of Constantinople has brought all ancient monuments to life so that we can enjoy their beauty hundreds of years after their construction!
