Asta Vrečko wrote that the sculpture behind the president of the National Assembly and the Truth in the Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican does not depict Emperor Constantine, but rather Charlemagne. According to her, this is one of the more well-known depictions of Charlemagne and the most famous work of the Italian sculptor Agostino Cornacchini from 1725. She added that apparently the facts were not an obstacle for a good quote, and remarked that some general knowledge of art history would not hurt. She contrasted her theoretical approach with her interlocutor's practical experience. #umetnost #zgodovina #KarelVeliki (translated)
