About this work

A dense cavalry engagement unfolds across a dusty field, with armored riders in plumed hats and breastplates charging amid drifting smoke. In the foreground a white horse rears beside a fallen horse, while infantry fire and fall in the middle distance and sailing ships appear on the right. Nikolaus van Hoy painted this work, Cavalry battle, in 1647, and it is held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
