Preserved in the esteemed Collection of Galleria delle Carte Geografiche at Vaticano, this artwork transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts a fierce naval battle between two formidable forces - the Ottoman Armada and an alliance led by Spain.

Intricately detailed, the painting captures various types of ships involved in this epic confrontation. From majestic galleons to sturdy carracks and sailing warships, each vessel represents a different faction engaged in this high-stakes conflict. The artist behind this masterpiece is Egnazio Danti from the School of Perugia.
