Vignette from the Battle of Milvian 1700 - 1733

This etching by Bernard Picart, a prominent French artist, depicts a dramatic scene from the Battle of Milvian Bridge. Executed between 1700 and 1733, the artwork features a dynamic composition with a victorious Roman soldier on horseback, his lance poised, amidst a chaotic scene of fallen foes and charging cavalry. This vignette, likely part of a larger series, offers a glimpse into the artist's meticulous approach to historical representation, capturing the intensity and brutality of ancient warfare.
