Veldslag tussen ruiterij en voetvolk in 16e-eeuwse kledij 1824 - 1894

"Veldslag tussen ruiterij en voetvolk in 16e-eeuwse kledij" (Battle between Cavalry and Infantry in 16th-Century Dress), created by Charles Rochussen between 1824 and 1894, depicts a dramatic scene of a 16th-century battle. The artist uses a delicate combination of pencil and wash to render the clash between the mounted knights and the foot soldiers, capturing the chaos and violence of the event. Located in the Rijksmuseum, the drawing showcases Rochussen's keen observation of historical detail and his ability to translate it into a dynamic composition. This work exemplifies the Romantic era's interest in historical events and military themes.
