15. Especially not

if they went for Da Vinci's Battle of Anghiari instead.

16. This is by Vasari and a different battle scene. Leonardo's original has gone missing...

all we have is the copy Rubens made of it. BUT, it could be behind another painting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_of_Anghiari_%28painting%29

And: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/explorers/projects/lost-da-vinci/

Fascinating story!
