Hardcover. Three Renaissance masters converge in 1504 Florence In a single year at the turn of the 16th century, three titans of the Italian Renaissance briefly crossed paths while competing for the attention of the most powerful patrons in Republican Florence. In 1504, the city's prominent artists came together to advise on an appropriate location for Michelangelo's sculpture David. Among them was Leonardo da Vinci, who-like Michelangelo-had only recently returned to his native Florence. David was placed outside the Palazzo Vecchio, inside which da Vinci was planning a painting of the Battle of Anghiari for a council chamber wall. In short order, Michelangelo was commissioned to paint The Battle of Cascina on the opposite side of the room, creating a showdown between the city's celebrated sons. Although neither painting ultimately came to fruition, this flurry of conspicuous commissions was witnessed by a promising young painter: none other than Raphael. In this beautifully designed book, Scott Nethersole and Per Rumberg take the Royal Academy's celebrated Taddei Tondo by Michelangelo as a starting point, and from there turn to such treasures as Leonardo's Burlington House Cartoon and studies by Leonardo and Michelangelo for their dueling battle murals. These pivotal works examine the rivalry between Michelangelo and Leonardo, and the influence of both artists on Raphael. AUTHORS: Scott Nethersole is Professor of the History of Art and Architecture from 500 to 1500 at Radboud University, Nijmegen. Per Rumberg is Jacob Rothschild Head of the Curatorial Department at the National Gallery, London. SELLING POINTS: .

At the turn of the 16th century, three titans of the Italian Renaissance briefly crossed paths, competing for the attention of the most powerful patrons in Republican Florence. In January 1504 the city's most prominent artists came together to advise on an appropriate location for Michelangelo's nearly finished sculpture of David. Among them was Leonardo da Vinci, who - like Michelangelo - had only recently returned to his native Florence. In this beautifully designed book, Scott Nethersole and Per Rumberg take Michelangelo's celebrated Taddei Tondo as their starting point, and examine the rivalry between Michelangelo and Leonardo, and the influence of both on the young Raphael. Some of the finest examples of Italian Renaissance drawing are reproduced, including Leonardo's Burlington House Cartoon and studies by Leonardo and Michelangelo for their murals commissioned by the Florentine government for the newly constructed council hall in the Palazzo della Signoria.
