Antique oil painting on canvas with a contemporary frame depicting a battle between Christians and Turks. Naples, 18th century.

Antique oil painting on canvas with a three-order frame of gilded wood carving depicting a Battle between Christians and Turks.

At the centre of the scene stands a knight with a plumed crest caught in the middle of the action while riding a dark steed.

To his left, another soldier on foot holds a large flag, precisely a reddish military standard.

The line of fighters extends to the right where other knights can be seen in motion charging the enemy, creating a strong sense of dynamism and controlled chaos.

The brushstrokes appear rapid, material and vibrant, useful for conveying the immediacy of the movement and the drama of the clash.

Provenance: Naples 18th century.

General Condition: Good condition.
