The Vision of Constantine was an egg tempera painting created by Elias Moskos.
There was also an inscription: Ἐν τούτῳ νίκα (En to tow nika) the translation was by this sign, you will conquer.
In Mosko's rendition, an angel appears relaying the message of the cross to Emperor Constantine.
A popular version was completed by Raphael’s assistants after his death called The Vision of the Cross.
A notable statue of The Vision of Constantine was completed by Bernini eight years before Mosko's work.
The engravings were a series of eight equestrian portraits of the subjects in Ariosto’s famous work Orlando Furioso.
Mosko's Vision of Constantine influenced a notable version by Greek painter Stylianos Stavrakis.
Mosko's work is currently part of the Dionysios Loverdos Collection at the Byzantine and Christian Museum.
The artist implements a unique array of colors common to the Late Cretan School.
Similarities exist between the engraving named Il Danese Paladino by Antonio Tempesta.
The artist eloquently depicts the miniature scene in the background adding depth to his work.
The work is an excellent example of a Greek painter mixing the maniera greca with Italian mannerisms.
