The "Battle of Cascina: Study for a Figure" is a renowned drawing by Michelangelo Buonarroti, created as a preparatory study for an uncompleted fresco intended for the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. This artwork, dating back to the early 16th century, around 1504, is significant as it showcases Michelangelo's mastery in depicting the human form and his understanding of anatomical structure. The drawing was part of a larger project commissioned by Piero Soderini, the then Gonfaloniere of Florence, as part of a decorative scheme to celebrate Florentine military victories, which also included Leonardo da Vinci's "The Battle of Anghiari."

Michelangelo's "Battle of Cascina" was to depict a historical event from 1364, where Florentine troops were ambushed by Pisan forces while bathing in the Arno River. The urgency and dynamism of the moment are captured in this study, which focuses on one of the soldiers as he reacts to the sudden call to arms. The figure's muscular tension and the twist of his body reflect Michelangelo's skills in portraying complex physical movements and emotional expressions.

Although the fresco itself was never completed due to Michelangelo being called to Rome by Pope Julius II to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling, the studies and sketches for the "Battle of Cascina" had a profound influence on Renaissance art. They were widely admired and copied by contemporaries, helping to disseminate Michelangelo's innovative approach to figure composition and anatomy.

Today, the "Study for a Figure" remains a crucial piece for understanding Michelangelo's artistic process and his impact on the visual arts. It is studied and revered not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical significance in the context of Renaissance art and Florentine civic pride.
