Fight with Amazons
1550
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Fight with Amazons is a 1550 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a chaotic battle scene with lots of people fighting. Some are on horseback, others are on foot, and a few are on the ground. The colors are mostly dark—browns, greens, and reds—with flashes of metal and white clothing standing out. The sky looks stormy, and the action is packed into every corner. One odd detail is the mix of armor and clothing styles, making it hard to tell who’s who. The horses and weapons look dramatic, but the whole scene feels more like a staged photo than a real battle. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next.
