FLORENCE, ITALY – A hundred days to see the so-called Tavola Doria in the Uffizi, a copy of the Battle of Anghiari by Leonardo da Vinci.
From March 25 to June 29, 2014 in the Hall of Geographical Maps of the Uffizi Gallery will be exhibited four painted panels of the sixteenth century belonging to the collections of the Florentine Galleries depicting copies or derivations from original inventions of Leonardo.
The Battle of Anghiari (1505) is a currently lost painting by Leonardo da Vinci, at times referred to as “The Lost Leonardo”, which some commentators believe to be still hidden beneath one of the later frescoes in the Salone dei Cinquecento (Hall of the Five Hundred) in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence.
Its central scene depicted four men riding raging war horses engaged in a battle for possession of a standard, at the Battle of Anghiari in 1440.
