EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Luca Giordano's masterpiece, "L'apparition de la Croix à l'empereur Constantin" (The Apparition of the Cross to the Emperor Constantine). Painted in the 17th century during the Baroque period, this oil on canvas artwork depicts a significant moment in history. The painting portrays Emperor Constantine, known as Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus, who ruled from 272 to 306 AD. The scene captures an awe-inspiring vision that forever changed his life and ultimately influenced Christianity. As he rides on horseback through ancient Rome, a radiant cross appears before him in the sky. Giordano's skillful brushwork brings this pivotal event to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. The artist masterfully captures not only the emperor's astonishment but also conveys a sense of divine intervention through his use of light and shadow. This painting serves as a testament to both religious faith and historical significance. It represents an important turning point for Christianity as it marks Emperor Constantine's conversion and subsequent establishment of Christianity as the state religion of Rome. Displayed at State A. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, Russia, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its powerful imagery and rich symbolism. Luca Giordano's talent shines through every stroke, making this piece a true gem within Italian art history.
