Ruitergevecht, ca. 1702 1701 - 1703

"Ruitergevecht," (Cavalry Battle) created by Dutch artist Jan van Huchtenburg between 1701 and 1703 depicts a chaotic battlefield scene. The print, which is now located at the Rijksmuseum, showcases a dynamic, detailed portrayal of a skirmish during the War of the Spanish Succession, with numerous riders, fallen soldiers, and horses in a frenzied motion. This piece exemplifies Huchtenburg’s mastery of depicting military scenes, a genre he was renowned for.
