"The Crusader Invasion of Constantinople" is a historical painting by Greek artist Vassilios Chatzis that depicts the pivotal moment of the Fourth Crusade when the crusaders invaded and captured Constantinople in April 1204. The artwork is renowned for its vivid portrayal of the chaos and violence that marked the sack of the city, which was then the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Chatzis's painting is a dramatic and detailed representation of the event, capturing the emotional intensity and historical significance of the crusaders' breach of the city's formidable walls.

In the painting, Chatzis utilizes a rich color palette to emphasize the fiery destruction and the stark contrast between the armored crusaders and the despairing inhabitants of Constantinople. The artist's attention to detail in the armor, weapons, and architecture of the period adds to the authenticity of the scene, while the dynamic composition conveys the movement and turmoil of the invasion. "The Crusader Invasion of Constantinople" is often praised for its ability to evoke the tragedy of the event, which led to a profound shift in the balance of power in the Eastern Mediterranean and had long-lasting consequences for the Byzantine Empire and the wider Christian world.

Vassilios Chatzis's work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical commentary, as it serves as a visual reminder of the complexities and brutalities of the Crusades. The painting is frequently referenced in discussions of Byzantine art and history, as well as in broader conversations about the representation of historical events in art. It is a poignant example of how artists can capture and interpret pivotal moments from the past, influencing contemporary understanding and remembrance of historical events.
