Francesco Simonini spent his life chasing the next battle scene, sketching troops on paper napkins between meals in Parma and Florence. He painted soldiers the way others painted still lifes, dust on their boots, sweat on their horses, a drumroll you could almost hear. Look up his "Călăreți în peisaj" and you’ll see why generals and artists alike kept copies of his work on their walls.
