"Progression" is a 1884 painting by Károly Lotz depicting a dramatic scene of an angel leading a winged warrior in battle. The warrior wields a spear and shield, his expression determined, while a defeated soldier lies prone at the base of the composition, surrounded by discarded weaponry. Lotz, known for his historical and mythological paintings, utilizes rich colors and expressive forms to capture the intensity of the moment, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of power, victory, and the passage of time.
