Historicizing battle scene of the Thirty Years’ War
This dynamic battle scene, executed in oil on canvas, depicts most likely an event from the Thirty Years’ War. On the edge of a forest, a group of riders with French flag storm into a hostile camp. The group is headed by some Swedish riders. From the left penetrate ground fighters with raised arms. In between is depicted the Austrian flag. In the background, in front of a mountain range, are displayed further fighters on their horses. The composition oscillates between painterly precision, especially in the figures, and vague brushstrokes with which the artist succeeded in creating depth.
The painting is mounted in a partly gilt wooden frame. The paint surface shows major craquelure and light abrasion. Inspection under UV light reveals several areas of retouching within the depiction. The frame is slightly worn. The overall dimensions, including the frame, are 103 x 138 cm. The stretcher measures 85 x 119 cm. (cko)
