About the piece

Painted in 1917 by René-Xavier Prinet, this oil on canvas work depicts a horse-drawn artillery parade in Pont-l'Evêque. The scene captures a moment of military movement during the First World War, rendered with the soft atmospheric light and expressive brushstrokes characteristic of French post-impressionism.
