Combats et Triomphes 1540 - 1583

“Combats et Triomphes” is a 16th-century etching by French artist Etienne Delaune (1518-1583). The piece is a dynamic representation of a battle scene, with soldiers on horseback clashing with enemies on foot. Delaune’s use of intricate detail and bold lines creates a sense of energy and chaos, while the dark background emphasizes the drama of the moment. This work is a fine example of the French Renaissance style and is a testament to Delaune’s skill as a printmaker. The artwork is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection in New York.
