The Battle of Zama is a 1567 oil by After Cornelis Cort, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows a battle scene with horses and soldiers. It's an old work, made after 1567, and it's interesting because it was created by an artist who was inspired by someone else's design. The details in the painting are not very clear, but it looks like a lot of action is happening. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
