About this work
A dramatic crowd scene set among classical columns and arches shows armed men seizing women while figures flee and struggle in the foreground. A rearing equestrian statue and mounted riders appear in the background beneath a stormy sky. The painting is attributed to Johann Heinrich Schönfeld and dated 1630, held by the Hermitage Museum.
