Battle of the Milvian Bridge (fragment) (verso)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a battle scene with multiple men on horseback and on foot, some armed with spears and swords. The men wear armor and helmets, some bare-chested, others fully clothed. Horses are present, one with a saddle and one without, some rearing up. The background features a cloudy sky. The image is rendered in black and white, with detailed cross-hatching. Tape is stuck to the upper left corner of the image. The artwork appears to be an etching, created by Albrecht Dürer, titled "Battle of the Milvian Bridge (fragment) (verso)". The overall mood is chaotic and intense. The image includes a range of textures, from the detailed armor to the cloudy sky.
