About this work
Giulio Romano was praised for his original and inventive drawn designs for frescoes (wall paintings), which were subsequently executed by assistants. This is such a modello, a highly detailed design for a fresco in the Vatican made between 1520-1524. It depicts Emperor Constantine transferring the secular authority over Rome to Pope Sylvester I.
