The Sienese victory in the Val di Chiana over English mercenaries in 1363.
His monochromatic fresco records the progress of the battle and the disposition of the troops episodically across the wall;
it is a graphic chronicle of the event rather than a naturalistic reconstruction,
with cities carefully labeled and the armies identified by the heraldic flags of their leaders.
