Roman Commander Ordering Attack n.d.

Pietro da Cortona's "Roman Commander Ordering Attack" is a red chalk drawing depicting a scene of military conflict. The drawing portrays a Roman commander in the foreground, gesturing towards a scene of battle in the background, likely a pre-battle strategy discussion. The scene is filled with soldiers, shields, and other elements of Roman military life. This artwork is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the drama and energy of historical events, and it demonstrates Cortona's mastery of the red chalk medium.
