Константин Великий и св. Елена на фресках Яна Кубена в Воздвиженском костеле в Бжеге
Constantine the Great and St. Elena in the frescoes of Jan Kuben in the Church of the Ascension of the Holy Cross in Brzeg

Summary/Abstract: The paper introduces the splendid representations of Emperor Constantine the Great and Saint Helena in Jan Kuben’s frescos in the church under invocation of the Triumph of the Cross in Brzeg. They testify strongly of the incessant presence of the creative reflection over the Christian ancient times in the area of Opole Silesia in the period of the Catholic reform in the 18th century. Kuben’s trompe-l’oeil constitutes a wonderful combination of deeply experienced Catholic spirituality with the genius of the artist – a visionary.
