"Battle Scene 1504" is a lost artwork by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, which is believed to have been created around 1504. While the exact nature and composition of the piece remain unknown due to its disappearance, it is thought to have been a drawing or a cartoon, a full-scale preliminary design for a fresco or a large painting. The work is often associated with Michelangelo's commission for the decoration of the Sala del Gran Consiglio (Great Council Hall) in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence, where he was to paint a vast mural depicting the Battle of Cascina, an event from the Florentine military history.

The project was intended to be a companion piece to Leonardo da Vinci's mural of the Battle of Anghiari, which was to adorn the opposite wall of the same room. Both works were to celebrate Florentine civic pride and military prowess. Michelangelo's Battle of Cascina and Leonardo's Battle of Anghiari were highly anticipated and were expected to be a grand display of the two masters' artistic rivalry and skill.

Although Michelangelo's original Battle Scene 1504 is lost, a number of copies and studies made by his contemporaries and later artists survive, providing some insight into the composition and style of the intended fresco. These copies suggest a dynamic arrangement of figures, showcasing Michelangelo's mastery of anatomy and his understanding of human emotion and movement in the heat of battle.

The loss of the original work has been a subject of lament in art history, as it represents the disappearance of a direct connection to Michelangelo's artistic thought process and technique during a pivotal period of his career. The surviving copies and records of the Battle Scene 1504 continue to be studied and admired for their reflection of Michelangelo's influence on the art of the High Renaissance and for the glimpse they offer into one of the great unrealized projects of the era.
