Artillery on Maneuver c. 1880 - 1923

"Artillery on Maneuver" is an oil painting by Dutch artist George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923). The painting depicts a group of soldiers on horseback with a cannon, likely in a military maneuver. The composition is dynamic, capturing the movement of the soldiers and horses in an open field. The painting, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a snapshot of military life in the late 19th or early 20th century, and demonstrates Breitner's interest in everyday scenes and moments of action.
