In the spring of 1451 a lance pierced Federico da Montefeltro's visor in a tournament, taking his right eye and the bridge of his nose. He recovered after months in bed.
Piero della Francesca painted him ever after from the left, the side with an eye. As one biography puts it, "Un imbruttimento sul quale la ritrattistica sorvola col ricorso al profilo."
