This print captures the historic moment of the Baptism of Constantine by Pope Sylvester I in 1517-1524. Created by Giovanni Francesco Penni, also known as il Fattore, this fresco is housed in the Vatican Museums and Galleries in Vatican City. The artwork depicts the significant event when Roman Emperor Constantine was baptized by Pope Sylvester I, symbolizing his conversion to Christianity. The painting showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that bring to life this pivotal moment in history. Located within the Hall of Constantine, Raphaels rooms, in Vatican City, this masterpiece represents a fusion of artistry and religious significance. It serves as a testament to the power and influence of both Catholicism and Christianity during that era.
