"Fight Against Robbers" (1625-1652) by Jan Asselijn (1600-1652) depicts a dramatic scene of a horseback battle in a wooded landscape. The painting, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the energy and chaos of a surprise attack. The composition is balanced by the bold, diagonal lines of the horses and the use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and realism. Asselijn, known for his landscapes and genre scenes, showcases his skill in depicting movement and tension in this oil on canvas.
