The fresco, painted by Girolamo Romanino, beautifully depicts the grandeur and opulence of this historical event. In the center of the composition sits King Christian I, adorned with a regal crown that signifies his royal status. His presence commands attention as he presides over the table, surrounded by courtiers and esteemed guests. The detail captured in this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate design of their attire and observe their expressions as they engage in lively conversation. Bartolomeo Colleoni himself is also depicted in this scene, showcasing his military prowess alongside his hosting skills.

The setting for this magnificent feast is none other than Castello di Malpaga in Bergamo, Italy - an impressive castle that serves as a backdrop to this lavish affair. The tables are filled with an abundance of food fit for royalty, emphasizing the indulgence and extravagance associated with such banquets.
