Niccolò Mauruzi da Tolentino unseats Bernardino della Ciarda at the Battle of San Romano

Executed in tempera, the panel displays Uccello’s characteristic bright palette and precise modeling of figures. The artist employs his experimental approach to linear perspective, arranging the crowded scene so that receding lines guide the eye toward the central encounter, while the dynamic poses of horses and riders convey movement and tension.

The panel formed part of a triptych commissioned to commemorate the San Romano engagement and was later incorporated into the Uffizi Gallery’s collection. Its survival alongside the other two battle scenes provides scholars with a rare, cohesive visual record of Uccello’s early Renaissance narrative program.
