About the piece
Painted by Jacques Courtois in 1648, this striking composition captures the chaotic energy of an equestrian battle. Set against a weathered pyramid that dominates the background, the scene is filled with rearing horses and lunging figures, rendered in the atmospheric, earthy tones characteristic of the period. Known as 'Il Borgognone,' Courtois was a master of the battle genre, and this work displays his characteristic technical skill and dynamic movement.
