The Battle of Anghiari {1505} is a lost painting by Leonardo da Vinci, which is still believed by some to be hidden somewhere in the Salone dei Cinquecento in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. It is believed to depict a fierce battle between two men ensconced on raging horses. A painting by Peter Paul Rubens in the Louvre, Paris, known as The Battle of the Standard, has been mistakenly portrayed as the actual painting by Leonardo himself.
