La historia de Constantino
La historia de Constantino es una serie de tapices diseñados por el pintor Pedro Pablo Rubens y el arquitecto Pietro da Cortona los cuales representan la vida de Constantino, primer emperador cristiano de la Antigua Roma. En 1622, Rubens llevó a cabo una serie de estudios al óleo los cuales empleó como guías, siendo los tapices elaborados en 1625 en el taller de Marc Comans y François de la Planche en el suburbio de Saint-Marcel en París, transformando cada pequeño bosquejo en una suntuosa pieza compuesta de lana, seda e hilos de oro y plata destinados a cubrir fácilmente una pared. Cinco diseños adicionales fueron pintados por Cortona en 1630 y posteriormente elaborados en el taller del cardenal Francesco Barberini en Roma a lo largo de la siguiente década.
