About the piece
Painted around 1840 by Horace Vernet, this work captures the frantic energy of a combat between a Greek and an Ottoman Turk. The composition is anchored by a striking white horse in mid-gallop, contrasting sharply against the dark, rocky terrain and moody, atmospheric sky typical of French Romanticism.
