Constantine's Victory over Maxentius \(detail\) 1452-66 Fresco San Francesco, Arezzo Only one of the soldiers in flight has remained nearly completely intact. A small part of his head with the metal helmet is missing. He looks back as he is crossing the river and his face is marked by fear. He clutches the horse's mane with his hands, as the reins are useless for guiding the horse through the water. ## Related artworks - [1. Death of Adam \(detail\)]() - [1.
