The Climbers (Three Figures from Michelangelos Battle of Cascina), 1510. Creator
The Climbers (Three Figures from Michelangelos Battle of Cascina), 1510. Raimondis source for these three male figures was Michelangelos Battle of Cascina cartoon--a preparatory full-scale model drawing for a wall fresco. It depicted bathing Florentine soldiers scrambling to respond to a surprise attack by troops from Pisa. Michelangelo never painted the fresco, but many artists based their own drawings and prints on the famous cartoon that has since been lost. Raimondis translation of these figures into printed form brought a piece of Michelangelos monumental work into the hands of many

The Climbers (Three Figures from Michelangelo's Battle of Cascina), 1510 - A Glimpse into Michelangelo's Lost Masterpiece
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the remarkable work of Marcantonio Raimondi, an Italian engraver who brought to life three male figures from Michelangelo's famous Battle of Cascina cartoon. Created in 1510, this preparatory drawing was intended for a grand fresco depicting Florentine soldiers caught off guard by an unexpected attack from Pisa. Although the wall fresco was never realized, Raimondi seized the opportunity to immortalize these powerful figures through his meticulous engravings. By skillfully translating them into printed form, he ensured that a piece of Michelangelo's monumental creation could be appreciated and admired by many. The print captures the intricate details and dynamic poses of these climbers as they scramble up rocks with determined expressions on their faces. It offers viewers a rare glimpse into what might have been one of Michelangelo's greatest masterpieces had it come to fruition. Through this artwork, we are reminded not only of the immense talent and vision possessed by both Michelangelo and Raimondi but also how art has the power to transcend time and bring us closer to lost treasures. This Heritage Art/Heritage Images photograph serves as a testament to their enduring legacy within Italian art history.
