dbo:abstract
  • The Battle of the Nudes or Battle of the Naked Men, probably dating from 1465–1475, is an engraving by the Florentine goldsmith and sculptor Antonio del Pollaiuolo which is one of the most significant old master prints of the Italian Renaissance. The engraving is large at 42.4 x 60.9 cm, and depicts five men wearing headbands and five men without, fighting in pairs with weapons in front of a dense background of vegetation. All the figures are posed in different strained and athletic positions, and the print is advanced for the period in this respect. The style is classicizing, although they grimace fiercely, and their musculature is strongly emphasized. The two figures nearest the front of the picture space are in essentially the same pose, seen from in front and behind, and one purpose of the print may have been to give artists poses to copy. An effective and largely original return-stroke engraving technique was employed to model the bodies, with delicate and subtle effect. (en)

  • La Battaglia di dieci uomini nudi è un'incisione a bulino (42,4x60,9 cm) di Antonio del Pollaiolo, databile al 1460-1465 circa e conservata, nel migliore esemplare, al Museum of Art di Cleveland. Tra le varie copie ne esiste anche una al Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe a Firenze e una alla Biblioteca Marucelliana. Quest'ultima è stata esposta in occasione della grande mostra per i cinquecento anni dell'Orlando Furioso a Ferrara nel 2016 - 2017 Questa incisione influenzò moltissimo sulla realizzazione del Combattimento tra Amore e Castità di Perugino, realizzato per lo studiolo di Isabella d'Este, oggi al Museo del Louvre e per la Battaglia di Cascina di Michelangelo.
