About the piece
Painted in 1856 by Théodore Chassériau, this dramatic work captures a fierce battle between Arab horsemen. Chassériau, a student of Ingres influenced by the colorism of Delacroix, creates a composition defined by its swirling movement, luminous blue sky, and the intense expressions of the riders and their steeds.
