This image shows a detail of the "Battle Scene," a renowned sinopia created by Pisanello (Antonio Pisano) in the Palazzo Ducale in Mantua. The sinopia is the preparatory drawing that artists executed directly on the wall before applying the final layer of plaster for the fresco. Although the fresco was never completed, this sinopia is considered a masterpiece in its own right and represents one of the highest examples of the Late Gothic style in Italy, which merges with the nascent ideas of the Renaissance. The dynamism of the scene, which depicts knights in armor during a battle, highlights Pisanello's extraordinary mastery in rendering movement and realistic details, making the work one of the most significant of its time. |
