Battle of Horsemen and Foot Soldiers mid-16th century Attributed to Guglielmo della Porta Italian In this dynamic study of a battle scene, the dense fabric of overlapping figures and the energetic penwork contribute to the chaotic action. The complex interweaving of soldiers and animals recalls classical reliefs, which were a significant source of inspiration for Renaissance artists. The style of the drawing suggests an artist in the circle of Perino del Vaga (Italian, Florence 1501–1547). A likely candidate is the sculptor and stucco designer, Guglielmo della Porta, who worked as Perino’s ass
