"Constantine's Victory over Maxentius" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca, depicting the momentous battle between the Roman emperors Constantine the Great and Maxentius. This work is part of a series of frescoes painted by Piero della Francesca in the 1450s, located in the Basilica of San Francesco in Arezzo, Italy. The series, known as the "Legend of the True Cross," narrates the story of the wood from the Garden of Eden, which became the cross upon which Jesus was crucified, and its rediscovery by Saint Helena, Constantine's mother.

The detail of Constantine's victory is a significant episode within the cycle, illustrating the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, which took place on October 28, 312 AD. According to historical accounts, Constantine had a vision the night before the battle, where he was instructed to paint the symbol of the Chi-Rho on his soldiers' shields, assuring his victory. The fresco captures the moment of triumph, with Constantine's forces overpowering those of Maxentius, who is seen drowning in the Tiber River, as prophesied.

Piero della Francesca's mastery of perspective and use of color are evident in this fresco. He employs a calm and ordered composition to convey the chaos of battle, with a focus on the grandeur and divine favor of Constantine's army. The fresco is celebrated for its clarity, harmonious proportions, and the serene dignity of the figures, which are characteristic of Piero's style.

The "Constantine's Victory over Maxentius" fresco is not only a reflection of Piero della Francesca's artistic prowess but also an embodiment of the political and religious sentiments of the time, symbolizing the triumph of Christianity over paganism. As part of the "Legend of the True Cross" cycle, it contributes to the narrative that legitimizes the relic of the True Cross and celebrates its influence on Christian history.

This fresco is a testament to the cultural and artistic achievements of the Early Renaissance period and remains a significant piece of art historical interest, attracting scholars and visitors who are drawn to its historical narrative and Piero della Francesca's innovative approach to painting.
