Английская Википедия:Costanzo da Ferrara
Costanzo da Ferrara (1450–1524) was an Italian painter and medalist, born in Ferrara, but working mainly in Naples.[1]
Costanzo was asked to go to Constantinople, capital of the Ottoman Empire, to make a portrait of the sultan Mehmet II.[1] Diplomatic relations were restored with the Ottoman Empire after the Ottoman offensive on Negroponte in 1470.[1] At that point, the sultan asked for "uno pittore de quelli dal canto di qua" (a painter from over here).[1] Ferdinand I of Naples (1423–1494), recognizing the Ottoman ruler, commissioned the work.[2]
Costanzo da Ferrara probably resided in Istanbul during the period 1475 to 1478, and may have remained there until the death of the Sultan in 1481.[1] Two medals were minted in the name of the Sultan, one with "Asie et Gretie imperator", the other with "Bizantii imperator".[2][3]
Costanzo da Ferrara is also known to have been back in Naples in 1485, where he painted a portrait of Ferdinando d'Este.[1] Some paintings attributed to Gentile Bellini in Constantinople, may actually have been made by Costanzo da Ferrara.[1][4][5]

Once the debate over attribution subsides, the more intriguing issue to raise is whether one can call the work a portrait." in Шаблон:Cite book
