"The Capture of Casole" is a fresco by the Italian Mannerist artist Giorgio Vasari, completed in 1565 as part of a larger decorative program for the Salone dei Cinquecento (Hall of the Five Hundred) in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. This grand hall, originally designed by Simone del Pollaiolo and later expanded by Giorgio Vasari under the commission of Cosimo I de' Medici, Duke of Florence, was intended to showcase the power and glory of the Medici dynasty through a series of artworks depicting military victories and significant events in Florentine history.

Vasari's fresco captures the moment of the Florentine victory at Casole d'Elsa, a strategic location in Tuscany, during the conflicts with Siena in the 16th century. The work is part of a series of murals that celebrate the military achievements of the Florentine state and its leaders. "The Capture of Casole" is particularly noted for its dynamic composition, vivid portrayal of the battle, and the use of perspective to create a sense of depth and drama.

The fresco is a testament to Vasari's skill as both an artist and an architect, as he was responsible for the overall design and execution of the Salone dei Cinquecento's renovations. His work not only reflects the artistic trends of the Mannerist period, characterized by complex compositions and the use of exaggerated proportions and spatial manipulation, but also serves as a visual representation of Medici propaganda, emphasizing their role as patrons of the arts and defenders of Florence.

As a significant piece of Renaissance art and a historical document of Florentine political ambitions, "The Capture of Casole" remains an important work for scholars studying the intersection of art, politics, and history during this period. The fresco continues to attract attention from visitors to the Palazzo Vecchio, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and artistic fervor of 16th-century Florence under Medici rule.
