In Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry one of the magi, Balthasar, looking rather like a sultan with his black beard and turban, was inspired by an equestrian portrait of Constantine on a gold medal, by Veronese artist Antonio Pisano, owned by the Duc de Berry (a copy is now in the Bibliothèque Nationale).
