Creativity and innovation must sometimes face difficulties and failures, which are necessary steps to success. Leonardo da Vinci was asked to celebrate the battle of Anghiari, won in 1440 by Florence against Milan, with a magnificent fresco in Palazzo Vecchio. He decided to experiment with a new painting process, requiring a rapid drying of the colour. He lifted huge fires directly in front of the fresco, but the intense excessive heat melted the colour and nothing remained of it.
The red/black ebonite of Davinci Battaglia di Anghiari recalls the fires lit by Leonardo, and its striped-motif reminds of the melting paint, dripping unrelenting down the wall. The DaVinci Battaglia di Anghiari features the renowned Stipula patented mechanism already in the DaVinci collection: the mechanism takes flight by simply and elegantly turning the barrel and gracefully propels the nib outward in writing position, with no need of a cap!
