Twee vechtende paarden naar rechts rennend 1590

This etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, created in 1590, depicts two horses in a dynamic, almost violent, struggle as they race to the right. The detailed rendering of the horses' musculature and the powerful, fluid lines of their movement demonstrate Tempesta's mastery of animal anatomy. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the artist's interest in the natural world and his ability to capture the raw energy of a struggle.
