This is an illustration done for Medieval Warfare Magazine, a dutch publication. It depicts a battle between the lightly armed but battle-hardened Almogavars of the infamous Catalan Company and the French Knights of the Duchy of Athens. Guess who won.

You can read about the battle here. >> [link]

And if any of you are interested you can check out the magazine here. Its a very interesting magazine if you're in to medieval history. >> [link]

Good work! The bright colors of the French knights stand out against the earth tones of the background and the Almogavars. The converging lines of the spears and the angles of the warriors also create movement that leads the eye to the knights. The knight falling off his horse in the background gives a hint of what is about to happen and the ultimate outcome of the battle. this is a terrific piece of historical art!

Great work. I especially love the action in the art. For instance how part of the battle is spelled out. Something like: Optimistic knights get wounded by javelins, pulled from their tired mounts and killed.
