The Cavalry Combat with Swords is a 1633 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Battle, held at National Gallery of Art.
Jacques Callot shows a wild battle scene. Two soldiers on horseback slash swords. A third horse rears up. Foot soldiers fight below. This etching is busy but clear. The artist used tiny lines to show armor and weapons. He made the chaos feel close and real. Look at the details in the background. The trees and hills vanish quickly.
