Oil on canvas depicting a battle scene - France - 17th century

A striking oval composition from the European school, executed in oil on canvas, depicting a battle scene with knights and soldiers at the foot of a fortified fortress. The artist demonstrates great mastery in capturing the movement of the horses and the excitement of combat through fluid, dynamic brushstrokes and a skillful use of light, which enhances the atmospheric depth and contrasts between the figures in the foreground and the landscape in the background.

The warm, earthy color palette, typical of eighteenth-century painting, lends the scene a dramatic yet harmonious tone. The painting is presented in a contemporary frame.
