The battle of the nudes- Antonio del Pollaiuolo


- it's an engraving
-reflects interest of Renaissance scholars
-a study in composition with the figure
-figure in action
-the background with the men seem to be from one man with many poses and a fake background
-depicts muscles from human body
-Italian patrons commissioned murals and large alterpieces for their local churches and smaller panel paintings for their houses and private chapels
