The Column of Marcian (Turkish: Kıztaşı) is a notable cultural and historical landmark situated in the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey. Erected in the honor of Byzantine Emperor Marcian, who reigned from 450 to 457 AD, the monument is one of the key surviving examples of Roman sculpture and architecture in Istanbul.

This significant monument is characterized by its Corinthian style, boasting a finely chiseled design symbolic of the intricate craftsmanship of its era. It rises to a height of approximately 21.6 meters, with an original 26.5 meters when its crowning sculpture, a statue of Marcian, was intact. Today, it stands as a solitary pillar towering above surrounding buildings, holding a deep connection with the city's past and serving as a testament to the grandeur of the Byzantine Empire.

The column was prominently depicted by renowned 19th-century British artist William Henry Bartlett in a series of his works focusing on Istanbul's historic landscape and architecture. Bartlett's illustrations lend a unique portrayal to the Column of Marcian, bringing his romantic perspective to Istanbul's iconic past. His artworks, which include striking etchings and engravings, are celebrated for their attention to detail, capturing the nuances of the historic cityscape, and adding to the documentation and appreciation of Istanbul's architectural heritage. His depiction of the Column of Marcian bears witness to the artist's prowess in interpreting with vibrant realism the nexus of culture and history the iconic monument exemplifies. His works offer the centuries-old column renewed life through art, contributing significantly to its international recognition.
