Tent Pictures by Simone de Martini

• The Fresco of Guidoriccio da Fogliano shows a complete military camp, including a variety of sizes and shapes of shelters.
• St. Martin Renounces his Weapons depicts a scene from the life of St. Martin in which he (until that point a military man in the Roman army) refuses to take arms against a pagan army, preferring to convert them instead. The picture shows a number of circular tents.
