It was probably inspired by a man astride a fallen horse in Giulio Romano's fresco of the 'Battle of the Milvian Bridge' in the Sala di Costantino in the Vatican, although the position of the figure has been reversed and the arms raised to approximate with the pose of the woman in the frieze. There does not appears to have been a print of the fresco when the dish was made so the man must have been derived from a drawing. The engraving with that title by Giulio Bonasone, dated 1544, depicts a different battle scene. The design was derived from the facade of the Palazzo Milesi, via della Maschera d'Oro, Rome, which Polidoro da Caravaggio (1492-1543) completed before the Sack of Rome in 1527. It was the most celebrated of his facades and was the last of those listed by Vasari. The facade has deteriorated so that only the faintest shadows of its former splendour remain. But the whole scheme can be seen in Enrico Maccari's 'Graffiti e chiaroscuri esistenti nell'esterno delle case di Roma', undated but published in 1876. The frieze illustrating the story of Niobe ran from left to right along the facade above the doorways and below the first-floor windows. No print of this facade is known before 1548 so presumably the painter of the dish had access to drawings made in Rome. reference term-110475 adlib-term-110475 223ae6a7-2f91-3314-ae3c-da3233ae47dc
