Description: | Signed: yes Description: In this battle scene, Jan Peeter Verdussen departed from the broad views of battlefields favoured by the previous generation of Netherlandish battle painters. Here the cavalry fights in a landscape half-hidden by clouds of smoke. Verdussen shows the suffering caused by the battle: figures of dead combatants, injured horses and soldiers leaving the field are represented in the foreground. The artist combined the Netherlandish tradition with French and Italian influences inspired by his travels to Southern France and Turin, where he worked for the King of Sardinia. | Subjects: | military and war; animal (horse); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Verdussen, Jan Peeter (Flemish painter and draftsman, ca.1700-1763) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9031... | Go to resource |
