Gefecht (rund) is a 1658 unspecified by Ciccio Graziani, held at Bavarian State Painting Collections.
This painting is a circular piece, with a dark, monochromatic color scheme. The scene depicts a chaotic battle between two groups of people on horseback, with one group appearing to gain the upper hand. In the foreground, the horses are shown in various states of agitation, with some rearing up on their hind legs and others falling to the ground. The riders are armed with swords and spears, and some are shown in the act of striking or being struck. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama and tension, drawing the viewer's eye to the center of the action. For more on this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
Ciccio Graziani (1626–1670) was an artist, born in Capua.
