"Constantine the Great" is a monumental sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, a preeminent Italian artist of the Baroque period. Created between 1670 and 1672, the work is located in the Scala Regia (Royal Staircase) of the Vatican Palace in Vatican City. The sculpture is part of a grand redesign of the staircase commissioned by Pope Alexander VII, intended to link St. Peter's Basilica with the Vatican Palace.

The equestrian statue depicts the Roman Emperor Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, at the moment of his divine vision before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD. According to historical accounts, Constantine experienced a revelatory event where he saw the symbol of the cross and heard the words "In this sign, conquer," which led to his conversion to Christianity and the eventual Christianization of the Roman Empire.

Bernini's sculpture captures the emperor in a dynamic pose, with his head turned upwards as if receiving the heavenly sign. The work is notable for its dramatic expression of movement and emotion, characteristics of the Baroque style. The figure of Constantine is masterfully carved, with meticulous attention to the details of his armor and the horse's anatomy, conveying a sense of power and divine inspiration.

The "Constantine the Great" sculpture is considered one of Bernini's later masterpieces, showcasing his continued innovation in sculptural form and his ability to convey complex narratives through marble. It remains an important piece of Baroque art and a significant cultural artifact within the Vatican's collection, reflecting both the historical significance of Emperor Constantine and the artistic legacy of Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
