Udfaldet på Amager 1658 under Svenskekrigen 1657-60 is a 1791 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a chaotic battle scene with soldiers on foot and horseback. Smoke and fire fill the sky, making it hard to see clearly. Some soldiers are standing, others are falling, and a few horses are rearing up or lying down. One man on a white horse holds a flag with a blue and yellow design. The painting looks old but was actually made in 1791—long after the battle it shows. The artist used thick, dark brushstrokes to create drama and movement. Look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create mood in paintings.
