Procession of the Oldest King (detail)

by GOZZOLI, Benozzo, Fresco

The young herald riding before the old king corresponds formally with the figure of the young king on the opposite wall. On the right side of the image a group of supporters or agents of the Medici can be seen, such as Bernardo Giugni, Francesco Sassetti, Agnolo Tani, and perhaps Dietisalvi Neroni and Luca Pitti, who were to become enemies in 1466.
