The Battle of Cascina, or The Bathers
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of Michelangelo's iconic masterpiece. Created in 1542 by Aristotile da Sangallo, this oil on panel reproduction pays homage to the original cartoon commissioned for the Palazzo della Signoria. The scene depicted in this artwork portrays a fierce battle fought between Florence and Pisa on July 28,1364. The composition showcases a riverbank where warriors engage in combat with spears and batons. Amidst the chaos and movement, figures twist and turn with torsion as they are caught unawares by an ambush. What makes this piece truly remarkable is its monochrome grisaille technique, which adds depth and intensity to every stroke. The artist skillfully captures the tension and alarm felt by both sides during this surprise attack. As we examine each figure closely, their nakedness becomes apparent - a symbolic representation of vulnerability amidst conflict. This emphasis on nudity serves as a reminder of our shared humanity despite being engaged in warfare. "The Battle of Cascina, or The Bathers" transports us back to Renaissance Italy, allowing us to witness history unfold through artistry. It stands as a testament to Michelangelo's influence on subsequent generations of artists who sought to recreate his genius. With kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of Holkham Estate, this print brings forth not only historical significance but also showcases Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving fine art for all to admire.
