"The Lost Masterpiece" Battle of Anghiari, 24" x 36" Graphite on Paper
The purpose of my drawing was to pay homage to Leonardo da Vinci.
The original drawing by Leonardo was intended to be a wall mural depicting The Battle of Anghiari fought on June 29, 1440,
between Milan and the Italian League led by Republic of Florence in the course of the Wars in Lombardy.
Leonardo da Vinci hated the bloody horror of war and wanted to portray the fury, the intense emotions and the sense of power.
