Circle of Jacques Courtois, known as the Burgundian (Saint-Hyppolite 1621 – Rome 1676) – Chivalric battle.

53 cm x 80 cm.

Oil on canvas, without frame.

The composition is part of the tradition of seventeenth-century battle painting, of which Jacques Courtois, known as Borgognone, was one of the most recognizable exponents in Italy in the second half of the 17th century. The scene shows a group of knights engaged in full battle, depicted with rapid brushstrokes and a limited palette of brown, gray, and white, enlivened by touches of light emerging from the dark background. In the background, a second group of combatants can be glimpsed, bathed in a dusty light that suggests the depth of the battlefield. The compositional structure and the use of tonal contrasts point to the circle of Borgognone, although it is currently impossible to suggest a more specific attribution.
