I have found a large image of Venetians vs Ottomans at the naval Battle of Zonchio (Navarino), 1499. 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. Druzhina 15th Century Illustrations of Costume & Soldiers
