Cavalry Battle 1635 - 1900

This drawing, “Cavalry Battle,” by Jacques Courtois, depicts the chaotic and violent nature of a cavalry charge. The composition is dominated by a group of mounted soldiers in the foreground, their horses rearing up and charging into battle. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency and movement, with the riders' swords and lances flashing in the air. Courtois, known for his battle scenes, skillfully captures the dynamism of the cavalry, creating a powerful and evocative work of art.
