Description: | Signed: yes Description: Philips Wouwerman was renowned for his equestrian paintings. The contexts varied from battle scenes and encampments to horse fairs, blacksmiths and stable interiors. His delicate brushwork skilfully expressed the animals' form and movement with remarkable energy. This painting is certainly characteristic of his work with its dynamic composition structured around the galloping horses and the dramatic clashing of arms between their riders. One of Philips's pupils was his younger brother Pieter who followed him closely in style. Their works and monograms are often difficult to distinguish and both artists should be considered as possible attributions for this work. | Subjects: | military and war; figure; animal (horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Wouwerman, Philips (Dutch painter, 1619-1668) Æ Attributed to Attributed to Wouwerman, Pieter (Dutch painter, 1623-1682) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8495... | Go to resource |
