"The Capture of Cascina" is a fresco by the Italian Mannerist artist Giorgio Vasari, completed in 1565 as part of the decorative program for the Salone dei Cinquecento in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. The fresco is one of several that adorn the walls of the grand hall, which was designed to showcase the power and prestige of the Medici family, who were the de facto rulers of Florence during the Renaissance.

Vasari's work depicts a historical event from the Florentine military campaigns, specifically the Battle of Cascina, which took place in 1364 between the forces of Florence and those of Pisa. The battle was a significant victory for Florence and became a symbol of the city's military prowess. In the fresco, Vasari captures the moment of the Florentine troops' surprise attack on the Pisans as they bathed in the river, a scene that emphasizes both the strategic cunning of the Florentines and the vulnerability of their enemies.

The composition of the fresco is dynamic, with figures arranged in a complex interplay of movement and expression, characteristic of the Mannerist style that Vasari helped to define. The artist's use of vivid colors and intricate details contributes to the overall impact of the scene, which is designed to convey the drama and intensity of the historical event.

"The Capture of Cascina" is part of a larger narrative cycle within the Salone dei Cinquecento that includes works by other prominent artists of the time. Vasari, who was also an art historian and architect, played a central role in the design and execution of the decorative scheme, which was intended to glorify the Medici lineage and celebrate the cultural achievements of Florence.

As a significant work of Renaissance art and an example of Vasari's mastery in fresco painting, "The Capture of Cascina" continues to be studied for its historical relevance and artistic merit. The fresco remains an important cultural artifact within the Palazzo Vecchio, attracting scholars and visitors interested in the rich artistic heritage of the city.
