The Battle of Zonchio (Navarino), 1499,
woodcut coloured using stencils
Produced in Italy, around AD 1499. Held by the British Museum
The battle shown here was fought in August 1499 off Zonchio, north of Navarino (Peloponnese).
The combatants were a Turkish vessel commanded by Kemal Ali (shown standing on the deck of his ship), and two Venetian vessels commanded by Antonio Loredan and Albano d'Armer.
The Turks were victorious; Loredan was killed when his ship was burnt, and Armer was taken as a prisoner to Istanbul, where he was sawn into pieces on the order of Bajazet II.
This is possibly the first print of an actual naval battle.
It shows 6 composite bows and 3 handguns amongst the Venetian seamen, but only 2 crossbows.
