"Tweede verschijning van het kruis aan Constantijn" (1565-1630), an etching by Antonio Tempesta (1555-1630), depicts a scene from the life of Roman emperor Constantine. The image, currently in the Rijksmuseum, shows Constantine, flanked by his soldiers, witnessing a vision of a cross in the sky. The depiction, with its detailed figures and dramatic lighting, exemplifies the style of 16th-century Italian etching. Tempesta, renowned for his battle scenes and historical depictions, captures the moment of Constantine's conversion to Christianity in this striking artwork.
