Fausto Zonaro - Hustle and Bustle on the Galata Bridge in Constantinople, a photo by Gandalf's Gallery on Flickr.
Fausto Zonaro (Masi, Italy, September 18, 1854 - San Remo, Italy, July 19, 1929) attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Verona which was under the directorship of Napoleone Nani. In 1891 he undertook a long journey to Constantinople, today’s Istanbul, where he quickly succeeded in winning commissions from members of Constantinople’s circle of aristocrats. He probably painted the picture from nature during his stay in the Ottoman capital (1891-1904).
