About this work

Giovanni de' Medici has just knocked his opponent off his horse with his lance. The two are within an enclosure, around which a whole group of riders stand. Below the scene two lines of Latin. This print is part of a 22-print series on the history of Giovanni de' Medici, called 'dalle Bande Nere'.
