"Cavalerie-gevecht, opgedragen aan de hertog van Enghien" (Cavalry Battle, Dedicated to the Duke of Enghien) is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Jan van Huchtenburg. Created between 1663 and 1690, this print depicts a chaotic scene of a cavalry battle, a popular subject for Dutch artists of the time. The intricate detail and dynamic composition, with smoke billowing from the cannons and riders charging into battle, create a sense of movement and energy. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the Dutch Baroque's fascination with military subjects and dramatic scenes.
