The Battle of Anghiari Italian Wall Hanging Tapestry

The Battle of Anghiari is an Italian jacquard wall tapestry. The artwork is from a lost painting est. 1505 by Renaissance Master Leonardo da Vinci. The composition of the central section is best known through a drawing by Peter Paul Rubens in the Louvre, Paris. This work, dating from 1603 and known as The Battle of the Standard, was based on an engraving of 1553 by Lorenzo Zacchia, which was taken from the painting itself or possibly derived from a cartoon by Leonardo. The Battle of Anghiari was fought on 29 June 1440, between the forces of Milan and those of the Italian League led by the Republic of Florence in the course of the Wars in Lombardy. The battle was a victory for the Florentines, securing Florentine domination of central Italy.
