In 1453 Mehmed commenced the siege of Constantinople with an army between 80,000 to 200,000 troops and a navy of 320 vessels. In early April, the Siege of Constantinople began. After several failed assaults, the city's walls held off the Turks with great difficulty, even with the use of the new Orban's bombard, a cannon similar to the Dardanelles Gun. The harbor of the Golden Horn was blocked by a boom chain and defended by twenty-eight warships. On April 22, Mehmed transported his lighter warships overland, around the Genoese colony of Galata and into the Golden Horn's northern shore. A little over a month later, Constantinople fell on May 29 following a fifty-seven day siege. Fausto Zonaro was nominated as the court painter (Ottoman Turkish: Ressam-ı Hazret-i Şehriyari) in 1896. Holding the position of court painter, Zonaro viewed himself as the successor to the Venetian painter Gentile Bellini, who had been commissioned by Mehmed II to paint his portrait over 300 years earlier. Zonaro remained in Constantinople until 1909, when he returned to Italy following the coup d'état that had overthrown his patron Abdulhamid II. Zonaro painted portraits, landscapes and historical paintings. He was a prolific artist who created hundreds of works, most of which are of the Ottoman Empire. Today, the majority of Zonaro’s works remain in Istanbul, and many of them are on display in the city’s leading museums.
