DescriptionArtist: Baldassare Calamai (1787-1851)Title: Battaglia di Montaperti [Battle of Montaperti] Medium: Pencil drawing on paper Size: 270 x 360mm Signed: no, inscribed with artist and title (in the margin). Notes: Christie’s auction sticker, numbered #154 on the back Preliminary pen & ink signed drawing of the main character sold at a Florence, Italy auction, 13 Dec, 2016. The Battle of Montaperti was fought at Montaperti, a few kilometers southeast of Siena, on 4 September 1260, between Ghibelline troops led by Siena and Guelph troops led by Florence. Calamai never achieved the greatness he was projected to achieve due to his gambling and debauchery. Social/Sharing |

Very finely done to capture the tone and theme of the battle at the front lines with the fallen soldiers strewn about and weapons about to strike. Age has been kind and we still see the pencils able to bring us an image as if it was recorded from history over 500 years before.

Thank you!
I have another battle scene by Calamai and I will put that up next week. The front line is a place none of us would want to be. This image captures the fatalities alongside the victors taking centre ground.
