Battle Scene with Church at left 1790 - 1800

This watercolor by Dirk Langendijk, a Dutch artist active in the late 18th century, depicts a chaotic battle scene. The composition features a church at the left, which seems to have been engulfed by the battle, suggesting the pervasiveness of the conflict. Langendijk's work often included military and historical subjects, giving viewers insight into the battles and landscapes of his time. The piece is currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
