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 Leonardos, 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 historys most resonant exchanges of ideas and offers a whole new understanding of an age and those at its center.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735380984096,"sku":"NEW0307741788","price":16.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71VVa0ZEaML.jpg?v=1779483250","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-lost-battles-leonardo-michelangelo-and-the-artistic-duel-that-defined-the-renaissance-0307741788","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
