Description
Britain Loves Wikipedia at the Victoria and Albert Museum
Study of male nudes in combat, V&A
English: Study of male nudes in combat

Relief
Possibly 1470-1500
Italy
Terracotta

This panel relief is attributed to Antonio de Pollaiuolo, made in Florence in 1470-1500.

The Florentine painter Antonio Pollaiuolo�s interest in the male nude in active poses was shared by many Renaissance artists. Prints of his engravings were widely distributed across Italy and Northern Europe, and the figures appeared in other works of art. The terracotta relief recalls elements of Pollaiuolo�s engraving. It might reflect a bronze relief which Pollaiuolo was said to have made for export to Spain.
