The rider and horse's gaze lowered to the ground is no coincidence, but an expression of dejection. Before the future saint felt and recognized God's call within him, he had intended to become a knight. He took part in a campaign against neighboring but hostile Perugia, but ended in military defeat and captivity. The artist has portrayed this impressively.
