''Sketches for The Battle of Anghiari'' (1504-1506) is a series of preparatory studies by the Italian Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci for an intended fresco that was to adorn the walls of the Sala del Gran Consiglio in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. The fresco, which was never completed, was to depict the Battle of Anghiari, a 1440 conflict between Milan and the Italian League led by the Republic of Florence. Leonardo's commission was part of a larger project to decorate the hall with scenes of Florentine military victories, a project that also involved contemporary artists such as Michelangelo.

The sketches are a testament to Leonardo's meticulous preparation and his deep study of both the human form in motion and the dynamics of battle. They showcase a variety of techniques, including pen and ink, black chalk, and metalpoint, reflecting the artist's experimental approach to composition and form. Among the most famous of these sketches is the ''Tavola Doria'', a dynamic drawing that captures the intensity of the fighting men and horses, and the ''Study for the Battle of Anghiari'', which focuses on the central episode of the battle, known as the "Fight for the Standard."

Although the fresco itself was never completed due to technical difficulties with the mural's medium and Leonardo's departure from Florence, the sketches remain a crucial part of Leonardo's oeuvre. They provide insight into his artistic process and are considered some of the finest examples of Renaissance studies of movement and anatomy. The influence of these sketches extended beyond Leonardo's lifetime, inspiring later artists who sought to emulate his mastery of depicting the human figure in complex, dynamic poses.

The original sketches are scattered across various art collections, including the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest. The legacy of the ''Battle of Anghiari'' sketches is also preserved through copies made by other artists, such as Peter Paul Rubens, who captured the vigor and composition of Leonardo's lost masterpiece in his own rendition. Despite the fresco's disappearance, likely due to the renovation of the Palazzo Vecchio in the late 16th century, Leonardo's preparatory work for ''The Battle of Anghiari'' continues to be celebrated for its artistic significance and historical value.
