Sources
- Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Battle of Anghiari’ was begun in 1505 for the Sala del Gran Consiglio (now the Salone dei Cinquecento) of the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence, left unfinished in 1506 and lost — the wall was remodelled and frescoed by Giorgio Vasari c. 1563; no autograph fragment is on view. The composition survives only through copies, above all Rubens’s drawing after a lost copy (Musée du Louvre, inv. 20271) and the ‘Tavola Doria’ panel (Uffizi Gallery, Florence, on deposit)
