we would never do such barbaric things, and if we did, they didnt deserve the artifacts
It’s like the Red Army stealing our toilet bowls.
Sure this isn’t Byzantine art that Venice “acquired” when they steered this weird crusade thing towards Constantinople?
I’d hate to be the party’s buzz kill but ackchtually it’s the other way around. It’s been stolen during the fourth crusade after the crusaders thought “fuck Jerusalem, this crusade’s a huge mess already, let’s go pillaging Constantinople”, which basically led the crusaders to get relics and artwork like going grocery shopping but hundreds of km further.
