A Battle Between Cavalrymen and Infantry
Dirk Langendijk Dutch
Not on view
Of the various types of military subjects he depicted, the confrontation of mounted cavalry and foot soldiers was among Langendijk’s favorite. In this example, horses rear as shots are fired and swords and bayonets are raised. At center, he deploys his characteristic combination of brown ink and gray wash to dazzling effect, creating the illusion of smoke enveloping the figures.
