Editor: This spirited ink drawing, "Knights on Horseback Fighting" by an anonymous 18th-century British artist, has such an immediate sense of movement. What do you see when you look at it? Curator: I love the raw energy! It’s like a visual battle cry. The artist, whoever they were, captured the chaos and drama with such immediacy. Are those knights trampling the poor souls on the ground? A metaphor for power, maybe? Or just a really bad day on the battlefield. What do you think? Editor: It does make you wonder about the story behind it. Thanks! Curator: Absolutely! Art is about asking questions, isn't it?
