Attributed to Jacopo Ripanda’s circle, this fresco depicts an archery contest in ancient Rome. Men in classical attire participate, highlighting themes of physical training and civic festivals. The central archer is dynamically posed, surrounded by observers in Roman garb. A ruined classical structure in the background reflects Ripanda’s interest in Rome’s ancient heritage and civic virtues.
