'''''Battle of the Centaurs''''' is a relief done by the [[Italy|Italian]] [[High Renaissance]] master [[Michelangelo Buonarroti]], around 1492. It is in the [[Florence|Florentine]] museum [[Casa Buonarroti]].

''Battle'' is the second known piece made by Michelangelo. It was carved in white [[Carrara marble]] for [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] and left unfinished at the prince's death. Variously identified as the ''[[Battle of the Centaurs]]'' and the ''Rape of [[Deianira]]'' or ''Battle of Hercules and the Centaurs'', it reflects Michelangelo's study of late Roman sarcophagi, Bertoldo, the Pisani and Pollaiuolo. The subject of the piece was, if Michelangelo's biographer [[Ascanio Condivi]] is to be believed, suggested by the poet [[Poliziano|Angelo Poliziano]].
