	Antonio Pollaiuolo Summary
		Antonio di Jacopo Pollaiuolo (January 17, 1432/1433 – February 4, 1498, Rome), also known as Antonio del Pollaiolo or Antonio Pollaiolo, was an Italian painter, sculptor and goldsmith during the Renaissance, who also did valuable service in perfecting the art of enamelling.
		Antonio's first studies of goldsmithing and metalworking were under either his father or Andrea del Castagno: the latter probably taught him also in painting.
		Antonio's main contribution to Florentine painting lay in his searching analysis of the anatomy of the body in movement or under conditions of strain, but he is also important for his pioneering interest in landscape.

	Antonio Pollaiuolo / The Battle of the Nudes / about 1470
		Pollaiuolo was a renowned Florentine painter, sculptor, goldsmith and printmaker.
		Although Pollaiuolo witnessed the dissection of corpses, the relationship of the muscles is inaccurate and the rendering of the figures is stiff.
		Nevertheless, the conception of the nude as the subject of an engraving is a milestone in 15th century Italian art and a bridge to the complete mastery of anatomical form in the 16th century by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael.

		Pollaiuolo was a renowned Florentine painter, sculptor, goldsmith and printmaker.
		Pollaiuolo's engraving of a furious battle scene is one of the most important fifteenth-century engravings, exceptional for its size and complexity, and is also the earliest to be fully signed.
		Pollaiuolo may be responsible for the development of the "return stroke" technique, in which parallel lines are connected by thinner diagonals, which he employed for some shading in this engraving.

	Battle of the Nudes, Antonio Pollaiuolo by Raichel Le Goff
		Antonio Pollaiuolo (born circa 1432 - he worked as a goldsmith, sculptor and painter chiefly in Florence, but also in Rome where he died in 1498).
		Or, it could well be that Pollaiuolo, who was an artist of a highly individualistic and innovative character, has contrived to make a battle scene in the style 'all'antica'; a sort of 'invenzione' that does not illustrate any particular text.
		The artistic achievement of the 'Battle of the Nudes' is not that Pollaiuolo has re-created a work of art that might recall the age of Apelles, but that he has skillfully represented the human figure in ever varied poses and in vigorous action.
