Battle of Agnadello 1509

Here's my representation of the standard of Pietro Marquis Bourbon del  Monte Sante Maria which was captured by the Swiss at the Battle of Agnadello. I'll probably do a bit more work to this flag and add a bit more contrast to the blue to give it a bit more definition otherwise I'm pretty happy with it. Credit for the info on this flag goes to Massimo Predonzani whose site can be visited here http://stemmieimprese.it/2013/02/20/le-bandiere-veneziane-conquistate-dagli-svizzeri-nella-battaglia-di-agnadello-e-conservate-nel-museo-di-appenzell-2/#more-847 and the figure is from TAG. cheers Pete

WIP Stradiot flag Pietro Duodi

Thought I'd have a quick break from painting Lancastrian flags so this my representation of the flag of Pietro Duodi commander of the Venetian stradiots at the battle of Fornovo.  I've been wanting to have a go at this and other flags from this battle for ages and will continue to spacing them between the Lancastrian flags. The figure is a 'westernised' stradiot from Perry miniatures and I've wanted some of these since the osprey book came out.  Since I've just finished a book on the life of Marullus; a stradiot officer in the service of Naples amongst others the figure was srying out to be painted; I've got to finish the horse though.
