Flat plate with a battle scene

Workshop of Maestro Giorgio Andreoli of Gubbio; painting by the Painter of the Three Graces

National Gallery of Art

This painted plate shows three armored people and two horses in a dynamic scene set against a green and blue landscape. The people all have light skin and wear armor in shades of yellow and gold, with red fabric around their waists. They all wear different hats: one wears a yellow hat, one wears a blue hat, and one wears an orange hat with large blue feathers. Closest to us, a person jabs a spear towards a large white horse on the right. Another person is behind this horse, holding its reigns and looking over their shoulder. In the background on the left, a person riding a tan horse points a long sword down at the spear-wielder. In the background, blue water winds through light green grass and pale rock formations, with a few light blue trees. In the distance on the right is a large white castle with a golden roof under a blue sky that fades to yellow near the horizon. The rim of the plate is gold.
