Battle Of San RomanoThe battle of San Romano was fought in 1432 between the troops of Florence and Siena. The painter Paolo Uccello created the triptych The Battle of San Romano depicting the events of the battle. It consists of the paintings - Niccol Mauruzi da Tolentino at the Battle of San Romano (probably about 1438-1440), egg tempera with walnut oil and linseed oil on poplar, 181.6 x 320 cm, National Gallery, London.
- Niccol Mauruzi da Tolentino unseats Bernardino della Ciarda at the Battle of San Romano (dating uncertain, about 1435 to 1455), tempera on wood, 182 x 220 cm, Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence
- The Counterattack of Michelotto da Cotignola at the Battle of San Romano (about 1455), wood panel, 182 x 317 cm, Muse du Louvre, Paris
The 180 x 220 cm panel used to be the central painting of the triptych and is the only one signed by the artist. According to the webpage of the National Gallery, London, the three panels were commisioned by the Bartolini Salimbeni family but so coveted by Lorenzo de' Medici that he had them forcibly removed to the Medici palace at Florence. The Muse de Louvre webpage claims that the triptych was painted for the palace of Cosimo de' Medici at Florence. The webpage of the Galleria degli Uffizi only states that the triptych belonged to Lorenzo de' Medici and was listed in the inventory of his room on the groundfloor of the Medici palace at Florence.
