"You never know about the art world because it's a matter of opinion. If you look at old art like Rembrandt and Vermeer, it's not completely a matter of opinion. The pictures confront you, and you see exactly what it is. In modern art, a lot of it is suggestive, and it becomes a matter of opinion...
My idea of what Constantinople looked like in 1453 comes from a sixteenth century illustration in John Norwich’s “Byzantium, the Decline and Fall,” a very good account of the final battle as well as having a portrait of Mehmet II, the Turkish conqueror on the cover. However, aside from those two helpful illustrations, I paid no attention to the historical facts. That’s because my picture has to be interesting to look at in today’s art world, not a history classroom.” – Peter Saul
