About the piece
Painted in 1776 by Francesco Giuseppe Casanova, this energetic oil study depicts a cuirassier on a galloping horse. The work reflects the artist's mastery of military genre painting, emphasizing the raw power and motion of the horse against an atmospheric, clouded sky. The rich textures and dramatic pose make it a classic example of late 18th-century European art.
