In 1504, the informal rivalry between two of the most celebrated artists in Florence became a direct contest. Michelangelo was commissioned to paint a scene from the ancient battle of Cascina on a wall of the Palazzo Vecchio--in the same room where Leonardo da Vinci had already been commissioned to paint a scene from another great Florentine victory, the battle of Anghiari. As the paintings progressed, Michelangelo set out to prove that his work, not Leonardo's, embodied the future of art--but in fact, the influence of both would become visible in the works of subsequent generations of artists. The Lost Battles is a riveting look at one of history's most resonant exchanges of ideas and offers a whole new understanding of an age and those at its center.","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50082113192230,"sku":"9780307741783","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/ad38e3e3-b057-51b9-9f6b-f1484d2404a7.jpg?v=1738444690","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/the-lost-battles-leonardo-michelangelo-and-the-artistic-duel-that-defined-the","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
