Konstantin. The edict of Constantine 1700 years later.
On display for the first time in Italy, a rich and complete corpus of engravings by the Serbian artist Veljko Mihajlović: forty graphics (a characteristic technique of the Serbian artist) from the extraordinary cycle of Constantine and Elena, consisting of eighty aquatint works made in 2012.
Mihajlović has chosen the most representative figure of Christian emperor iconographically associated to that of his mother Helen, the woman who, during a trip to Jerusalem, miraculously discovered the True Cross. The artist represented Constantine the Great and his mother Helena taking his inspiration from the frescoes of the churches and monasteries he visited in Serbia, Italy, Mount Athos, Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, and Hungary.
