Monument to Condottier John Hawkwood by Paolo Uccello

The famous mercenary commander Sir John Hawkwood led the army of Florence to many victories. It is about his military prowess that the Latin inscription on the pedestal announces.

Subsequently, the pose of John Hawkwood served as a model for the sculptor Donatello, Uccello’s friend. He “removed” from her pose another famous condottier, Gattamelata, when he worked on his statue.
