"The Golden Horn with the Blue Mosque and Constantinople beyond" is a 19th-century oil painting by British artist Alfred Pollentine (1836–1890), known for his landscape and cityscape artworks. This particular painting captures a picturesque view of the Golden Horn, a historic inlet of the Bosphorus strait in the heart of Istanbul, then known as Constantinople. The composition prominently features the Blue Mosque, one of the city's most iconic landmarks, with its cascading domes and minarets.

Pollentine, celebrated for his detailed and atmospheric scenes, often depicted Italian and occasionally Eastern landscapes, imbuing them with a romantic and vivid quality. In this work, he showcases his skill in rendering light and color, as well as his ability to capture the essence of a place. The painting is a testament to the allure of the Ottoman capital during the 19th century, a subject that fascinated Western artists and audiences alike during the era of Orientalism.

The artwork serves as both a historical record of the city's skyline during the period and an example of the artist's engagement with exotic locations, which were popular among European art collectors of the time. "The Golden Horn with the Blue Mosque and Constantinople beyond" reflects Pollentine's interest in the grandeur of architecture and the interplay of natural and urban elements, themes that recur throughout his oeuvre.

As with many of Pollentine's paintings, this work is characterized by its attention to detail and the use of light to create depth and atmosphere. The artist's choice of vantage point offers a sweeping view of the Golden Horn, leading the viewer's eye towards the Blue Mosque and the cityscape beyond, underlining the harmonious coexistence of nature and human achievement in the urban setting of Constantinople.
