This finely detailed and rare marquetry panel depicts the Battle of the Milvian Bridge after the fresco by Giulio Romano (1499-1546) in one of the rooms that are now known as the Stanze di Raffaello, in the Apostolic Palace at the Vatican. It was most likely painted to Raphael's design between 1520 and 1524. A very closely related engraving by Giovanni Battista Cavalieri (ca. 1525–1601) from circa 1569, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (inv. no. 2011.466), could have been the example for the anonymous Italian artist at the end of the 16th century.
The Battle of the Milvian Bridge shows the battle that took place on 28 October 312 between the Roman Emperors Constantine I and Maxentius. Legend says that Costantine had a dream where a cross appeared in the heavens; a voice told him he would win the battle of Ponte Milvio if he used the cross as his standard. The cross became his standard and he won the battle, and attributed his victory to the god of Christianity.
