Discussion: Paolo Uccello’s The Battle of San Romano, from about 1438 (National Gallery, London), is important to the world of Arms and Armor because it’s the only depiction of this monumental battle. It’s also the first painting depicting a terminal spike on a war hammer. The spike appears in the hand of a horseman in one of the panels in which three Florentine knights attack a knight with a horseman’s hammer.
