What the museum label doesn't tell you
Look at that knot of bodies and horses: four riders, crossed sabers, a skull on the ground. Nobody actually knows what this scene looked like. Leonardo's fresco was gone by 1560. What survives is an anonymous Italian's copy of the lost preparatory cartoon, which Rubens bought without ever seeing the original and reworked with ink, wash, and extra paper strips to enlarge it. Three hands, a century apart, zero original. Dalí later copied this copy of a copy. The fury you're seeing belongs to Rubens, not Leonardo. How much of what we call a masterpiece is just the best surviving echo?
