Equestrian monument to Niccolo da Tolentino

The Fresco titled 'Equestrian monument to Niccolò da Tolentino' (1456) is an exemplary work of the Early renaissance master Andrea del Castagno, located inside Florence Cathedral. This Fresco depicts Niccolò da Tolentino on horseback, capturing the hero in a commanding portrait style that enhances its realism and heroism. Positioned on the church’s left interior wall, it complements Paolo Uccello’s earlier Equestrian Statue of John Hawkwood. The artwork exemplifies early Renaissance techniques of conveying movement and individual character in monumental portrait forms.
