This print showcases "The Baptism of Constantine" a remarkable Renaissance fresco painted by Gianfrancesco Penni between 1517 and 1524. The artwork can be found in the prestigious Apostolic Palace, Vatican, reflecting its historical and cultural significance. "The Baptism of Constantine" portrays an iconic moment in Christian history when Emperor Constantine the Great converted to Christianity.
