EDITORS COMMENTS
This fresco, titled "Constantine receiving gifts" transports us back to the 13th century in Rome, Italy. Painted by an unknown Italian artist, this masterpiece adorns the walls of the Oratorio di San Silvestro and depicts a significant moment in history. At its center stands Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor of the Roman Empire. Dressed in regal attire and seated on a magnificent throne, he exudes authority and power. Surrounding him are saints and emperors offering tribute in the form of precious gifts. Horses stand nearby, adding to the grandeur of this scene. The fresco showcases not only religious themes but also highlights elements from antiquity. The presence of umbrellas or parasols held above Constantine symbolizes his elevated status as emperor while also providing shade from sunlight. Through this artwork, we witness a fusion of Christianity and imperial rule during ancient times. It serves as a reminder of Constantine's pivotal role in establishing Christianity as an accepted religion within the Roman Empire. Vincenzo Pirozzi's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail present in this remarkable wall painting. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but marvel at how art has preserved history for centuries to come.
