Strijd tussen de Centauren en Lapithen op de bruiloft van Perithoüs en Hippodamea 1638 - 1671

This brown ink drawing, created by Dutch artist Jan de Bisschop between 1638 and 1671, depicts the legendary battle between the Centaurs and the Lapiths at the wedding of Perithous and Hippodameia. The scene is filled with dynamic figures in a chaotic fight, their bodies contorted in violent motion, with the focus on the central figure of a Centaur fighting a Lapith. This artwork is held in the Rijksmuseum and showcases de Bisschop's skillful use of line and composition to create a dramatic and engaging narrative.
