Description:
Rustici profited from study of the Medici sculpture in the garden at San Marco, and Vasari said that Lorenzo de' Medici placed him in the studio of Verrocchio, and that after Verrocchio's departure for Venice, he placed himself with Leonardo da Vinci, who had also trained in Verocchio's workshop. He shared lodgings with Leonardo while he (Rustici) was working on the bronze figures for the Baptistry (1506-1511). This modello of a horseman and four assailants, shows the influence of Leonardo's drawings while Leonardo was working on the now-lost painting of the Battle of Anghiari in Florence in 1505.
