About the piece
Painted around 1710 by John Closterman, this grand oil on canvas portrays General Michael and John Richardson. The composition masterfully balances the formal presence of the figures—featuring rich blue velvet and polished armor—with a moody, atmospheric rendering of the Battle of Belgrade unfolding across the horizon under a churning, sun-streaked sky.
