This study of the creating process of the work of art analyzes in three parts the construction of the discourse, the construction of the image and the construction of the painting. Apart from the content previewed by its current function as the iconographicprogram of a church, the discourse bears also a latent content ; the last one develops some theological and political commentaries, of a very similar rhetoric to contemporary literary works of high style. The image is constructed according to some grids that we call primary components ; important equivalences have been observed with rhetorical figures and qualities much appreciated in literary compositions of the Byzantine society of the time.

This argument supports the hypothesis of an imperial patronage. The analysis deals with unusual caracteristics like the emphasis on youthfulness, the absence of Sainte Helena and the True Cross, the unfamiliar facial type, the realistic and detailed rendering of a contemporary imperial costume and the location within the space of the church. Constantine's representation in the Protaton constitutes a pictorial version of the well-known rhetorical image of New Constantine.
