"The Baptism of Constantine" is a renowned fresco painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael and his assistants. Located in the Sala di Costantino ("Hall of Constantine") in the Vatican Palace, Vatican City, the artwork is part of a series commissioned by Pope Leo X to decorate the rooms now known as the Raphael Rooms. The fresco specifically depicts the baptism of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, an event that played a crucial role in the acceptance of Christianity in the Roman Empire.

The painting, completed posthumously in 1524, after Raphael's death in 1520, was largely executed by his pupils, Giulio Romano and Gianfrancesco Penni, who followed the master's design and preliminary drawings. The fresco covers an entire wall and is characterized by dramatic use of color and light, typical of Raphael's late style, which showcases the transition from High Renaissance to Mannerism.

The scene captures the moment when Saint Sylvester, Pope of Rome, baptizes Constantine in the Lateran Baptistery. This event is considered a cornerstone in Christian history, symbolizing the end of religious persecution after Constantine's conversion and the Edict of Milan. The artwork not only reflects the religious and political shifts of the era but also serves as a testament to Raphael's enduring influence on the art of fresco painting in the Vatican.
