Look at this wonderful painting by Carl Gustaf Hellqvist, entitled "Valdemar Atterdag Holding Visby to Ransom, 1361".  There are so many wonderful compositions going on within the confines of a single greater composition.  I'm sure the original must be a sight to see, spanning more than 10 feet in width!
