Salvete Omnes,
I would like to bring to your attention some paintings from the
Castle of Buoncosiglio (Good Advice) from Trento, Italy.

castle painted by Albrecht Durer at the end of the XV century |
In one of the towers, Torre Aquila (Eagle Tower) there is a famous cycle of fresco paintings titled the Ciclo dei mesi (
Cycle of [12] Months ) painted by a painter known as master Vaclav ( Wenceslas), who perhaps came to Trento with Jiří I. z Lichtenštejna-Kastelkornu ( Georg von Liechtenstein-Nicolsburg ) from the mighty medieval Czech realm (
Bohemian Kingdom of 1400AD). The frescos, painted in the
International Gothic, depict nobles, towns folk, and peasants engaged in their own activities, and 6 frescos include detailed depictions of horses, horse tack, carts and wagons, a tournament with coats of arms displayed, and riders, including women riding side-saddle. Too bad we do not get to see more detail:
