"Study for an Equestrian Monument to Francesco Sforza" is a renowned drawing by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonio del Pollaiuolo, created as a preparatory work for an unrealized bronze equestrian statue. The drawing is significant for its historical context and its reflection of the artistic innovations during the Renaissance period. Francesco Sforza was the Duke of Milan, and such a monument would have served to commemorate his power and leadership, a common practice among rulers of the time to assert their authority and legacy.

Antonio del Pollaiuolo, known for his contributions to painting, sculpture, and engraving, was a prominent figure in the Florentine art scene. His studies for the Sforza monument reveal his understanding of anatomy and movement, as well as his ability to capture the grandeur and dignity appropriate for a ruler's monument. The drawing showcases the artist's skill in depicting both the muscular physique of the horse and the imposing figure of Francesco Sforza, emphasizing the dynamic relationship between the two.

The equestrian study is an important artifact in the history of Renaissance art, illustrating the transition from medieval representations of figures to a more naturalistic and humanistic approach. It also provides insight into the complex process of creating large-scale bronze sculptures during the Renaissance, which involved thorough planning and mastery of various artistic disciplines.

Although the monument was never completed, the surviving study is a testament to Pollaiuolo's artistic vision and serves as a valuable example of the preparatory works that were an essential part of the artistic process during the Renaissance. The drawing is preserved and studied by art historians, offering a glimpse into the ambitious projects that were envisioned but not always realized during this prolific period in art history.
