"The Battle of Legnano in 1176" is a historical painting completed in 1831 by the Italian artist and statesman Massimo Taparelli, Marquis d'Azeglio. This artwork depicts the pivotal Battle of Legnano, which took place on May 29, 1176, between the forces of the Holy Roman Empire, led by Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, and the Lombard League, a coalition of northern Italian city-states. The battle was a significant event during the wars of the Guelphs and Ghibellines, marking a decisive victory for the Lombard League and a turning point in the struggle for Italian autonomy against the imperial ambitions of the Holy Roman Empire.

In d'Azeglio's painting, the artist captures the intensity and chaos of medieval warfare, as well as the patriotic fervor that characterized the Lombard League's resistance. The artwork serves as both a historical record and a symbol of the burgeoning Italian nationalism of the 19th century, a period during which the Italian unification movement, known as the Risorgimento, was gaining momentum. D'Azeglio, who was an active participant in the Risorgimento and later became Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, used his artistic talents to promote the cause of Italian unity and independence.

The painting is noted for its dramatic composition, attention to historical detail, and its role in the cultural and political context of its time. As a work of historical genre painting, "The Battle of Legnano in 1176" reflects the romantic spirit of the era, emphasizing heroism, national identity, and the struggle for freedom. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Massimo Taparelli d'Azeglio and is of interest to both art historians and scholars of Italian history.
