Battle of the Nudes

Antonio del Pollaiuolo

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a chaotic scene of nude male figures engaged in combat. The figures are dispersed across the scene; some are standing, and some are on the ground. The standing figures are variously posed, with their arms raised. They hold weapons including swords and axes. The fallen figures on the ground are posed in contorted positions. The background features foliage and a tree. A sign is visible on the left side of the image. The overall scene is rendered in shades of gray on a beige background.
