Statue of Constantine is a 1704 ink by Francesco Faraone Aquila, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a dramatic statue of a man riding a horse. The horse rears up on its back legs, kicking its front legs high. The rider sits sideways, holding the reins tight. Around them, fancy carvings fill the background—like swirls and columns. The text at the bottom says this is a statue of Constantine, made by an artist named Aquila. It looks like the print was used to share the statue’s details far and wide. Want to see more? Look up etching to learn how this print was made.
