Leonardo’s Lost Masterpiece: The Mystery of the Missing Battle of Anghiari Art History to Dream By
Discover the dramatic saga of Leonardo da Vinci’s lost fresco, The Battle of Anghiari, once intended to adorn the Salone dei Cinquecento in Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio. Commissioned in 1503, the ambitious mural depicted a ferocious clash for a standard amid charging horses—only to vanish shortly after, leaving behind only preparatory sketches and copies by artists like Rubens.
In this episode of Art History to Dream By, we'll explore:
Leonardo’s experimental technique and why it failed.
Theories of its fate: Was it destroyed, or secretly concealed behind Giorgio Vasari’s later frescoes?
Maurizio Seracini’s decades-long quest to locate it using scientific tools like endoscopes and pigment analysis.
Newer scholarship suggesting it may have never been painted at all.
Featuring historical insights, archival imagery, and reflections on how this mystery continues to captivate art lovers today.
