About the piece
Painted in 1657, this work by Philips Wouwerman captures the intense energy of a 17th-century cavalry battle. The composition is anchored by the swirling chaos of horses and soldiers in the foreground, set against a towering sky where billowing smoke and soft sunlight create a profound sense of atmosphere and scale.
