Description: | A dramatic battle scene with many soldiers fighting on horseback, two thrown riders trampled in the foreground. Much of the sky is obscured by smoke rising from the mêlée. A castle and other buildings appear in the background left, a riderless horse escapes towards the hills and villages in the distance. The work is well executed, although at present it is marred by discoloured over-painting. This work was hung as a pair with A60 from an early date. | Subjects: | military and war; animal (horse); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Courtois, Jacques (French painter and printmaker, 1621-1676, active in Italy) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to after Roos, Johann Melchior (German painter, 1663-1731) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8377... | Go to resource |
