Slag bij de Milvische brug 1535 - 1601

Giovanni Battista Cavalieri's "Slag bij de Milvische brug" is a detailed engraving depicting the Roman Battle of the Milvian Bridge. The scene is filled with chaotic action, depicting soldiers engaged in hand-to-hand combat, some on horseback, others struggling in the river. The bridge itself is prominently featured, with soldiers attempting to cross and defend it. The composition is dynamic and dramatic, capturing the intensity of the historical battle. Cavalieri's engraving is an excellent example of Renaissance art, characterized by its realistic details and attention to human anatomy.
