Italian soldiers in Pistoia Cathedral, 1376AD

[druzhina]

I have saved some photos by Hugh McDonald of Italian soldiers on panels from the side of the silver altar-piece in Pistoia Cathedral completed by Francesco di Niccolò and Leonardo di Ser Giovanni of Florence in 1376. (https://warfare.ueuo.com/14/Pistoia_Cathedral-Scenes_from_the_Life_of_St_James.htm) panel 5 (https://warfare.ueuo.com/14/Pistoia_Cathedral-Scenes_from_the_Life_of_St_James-Panel_5.htm), panel 6 (https://warfare.ueuo.com/14/Pistoia_Cathedral-Scenes_from_the_Life_of_St_James-Panel_6.htm), panel 7 (https://warfare.ueuo.com/14/Pistoia_Cathedral-Scenes_from_the_Life_of_St_James-Panel_7.htm) and panel 8 (https://warfare.ueuo.com/14/Pistoia_Cathedral-Scenes_from_the_Life_of_St_James-Panel_8.htm).
Google Plus is closing, so if you wish to save any of the other photos by Hugh McDonald do so soon.
