Summary
| Description |
English: Central portion of the "battle fresco" in San Bevignate, Perugia. Situated on the counter-facade, opposite the altar, running across the wall below the rose window. The fresco survives only in fragments. It shows a battle between Templars and Saracens, tentatively identified as the sack of Nablus of 1242.
This central portion of the fresco shows two mounted Kinghts Templar. The upper body and bearded face of the left one has been preserved, showing him armed with a heater shield, with the Templar emblem both on his helmet and his shield. Behind him follows another mounted Templar wielding the Baucent war flag. The left portion of the fresco shows a third Christian knight, armed with a dagger and a round shield, engaging one of three mounted Saracen defenders of a city. The fresco originally stretched across the full width of the wall, but only three minor fragments of its right half have been preserved. Other photographs of the fresco online: here and here, plus a 360-view of the chapel interior by Giulio Fratticioli (google.com) Literature:
