As the massacre continues Civilians are caught in the crossfire. A woman is bleeding as she walks the streets of the devastated city. There is rubble everywhere. She can see what remains of what was once her home. She is searching for medical assistance. But there is non to be had. Only the caring hands of her friend Alma trying to console her.

The devastation seems to have been going on forever. Except for the two women the streets are empty. Nobody dares venture out, nor is it safe to hide indoors as the bombs seem to fall everywhere!..

Alessandro Bonvicino(c. 1498 – possibly 22 December 1554), more commonly known as Moretto da Brescia (the Moor of Brescia), was an Italian Renaissance painter from Brescia, where he also mostly worked. His dated works span the period from 1524 to 1554, but he was already described as a master in 1516. He was mainly a painter of altarpieces that tend towards sedateness, mostly for churches in and around Brescia, but also in Bergamo, Milan, Verona, and Asola; many remain in the churches they were painted for. The majority of these are on canvas.

He also painted a few portraits, but these are more influential. A full-length Portrait of a Man in the National Gallery, London, dated 1526, seems to be the earliest Italian independent portrait at full length, all the more unexpected as the subject, though clearly a wealthy nobleman, shows no sign of being from a princely ruling family.
