Description: | Battle scenes such as this one were popular during the mid to late seventeenth century and a number of artists of different nationalities painted similar works. Although the painting was formerly attributed to the French artist Jacques Courtois, the more loosely structured composition, as well as the dress of the figures, appears Italian. Stylistically, for example, the rising smoke, the awkwardness of the falling horses and the mountainous background can be compared with works attributed to Antonio Calza. | Subjects: | military and war animal (horse); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Calza, Antonio (Italian painter, 1653-1725) Æ Attributed to circle of Previously attributed to Courtois, Jacques (French painter and printmaker, 1621-1676, active in Italy) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8918... | Go to resource |
