Battle of Cascina

The battle of Cascina was supposed to be a fresco by Michelangelo in the Hall of the Five Hundred ( "Sala dei Cinquecento" ) in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence . However, only one lost template was created by Michelangelo 1500/1505, of which only various copies exist. The best is that of Aristotile da Sangallo , from 1542.
