Leonardo da Vinci Battle of Anghiari Engraving by Edelinck After Rubens c1660 A powerful mid-17th-century engraving of the famous “Battle of Anghiari” by Gérard Edelinck, executed around 1660 after Leonardo da Vinci’s lost composition and the celebrated drawing by Peter Paul Rubens. Also known as the Battle of the Standard, the scene shows three mounted warriors locked in ferocious combat over the banner that signals victory. The rearing horses, intertwined figures and dramatic energy reflect the extraordinary dynamism of Leonardo’s original design for the Great Council Hall of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. Leonardo’s experimental fresco method caused the original painting to deteriorate quickly, and it was eventually overpainted by Vasari. Edelinck’s engraving, based on Rubens’s vivid reconstruction, remains one of the most important surviving documents of the composition. Edelinck, one of the finest engravers of the 17th century, renders the complex anatomy, armour and movement with exceptional precision and tonal mastery. Large-format engravings of the Battle of Anghiari are increasingly sought after for their direct connection to Leonardo’s lost masterpiece and their strong decorative impact. This impression offers rich detail and compelling presence. A significant addition for collectors of Renaissance art, Old Master prints and historically important battle imagery. Condition: Strong impression with good tonal range; light age toning and handling marks; small tear in the upper right border; margins tight; no major losses or repairs. Suitable for professional framing. Framing: Best floated on off-white museum board in a thin black or dark walnut frame with a deep profile. Museum glass recommended to enhance contrast and preserve detail. Keywords: Leonardo da Vinci Battle of Anghiari, Edelinck engraving, Rubens drawing, Old Master print, 17th century engraving, Renaissance battle scene, antique horse battle...
