Four Horsemen in Battle 1624 - 1663

Francesco Allegrini's "Four Horsemen in Battle" is a brown ink drawing on paper created between 1624 and 1663. The drawing depicts four horsemen in a dynamic battle scene, with one horseman falling from his steed. Allegrini's use of line and shadow creates a sense of movement and energy, capturing the intensity of the battle. The drawing, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offers a glimpse into the artist's preparatory work for larger paintings.
