Poolse lansier in volle galop op het slagveld 1820

"Poolse lansier in volle galop op het slagveld" (Polish Lancer at Full Gallop on the Battlefield) is a lithograph created in 1820 by French artist Hippolyte Bellangé (1800-1866). The print depicts a Polish lancer on horseback charging into battle, a common theme in Bellangé's work, which often focused on military subjects. This print is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam. The scene is rendered in intricate detail, capturing the dynamism of the charge and the drama of the battlefield. It is a powerful and evocative depiction of the valor of Polish lancers during the Napoleonic Wars.
