PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA





The Trumpeter

This detail from the Battle between Heraclius and Chosroes shows the trumpeter on the left side of the fresco, who, in the midst of this dramatic battle, continues to play his instrument. On either side of this figure the imposing presence of the two warriors in their shining armour is remarkable.
