About this work

This painting shows a chaotic battle scene with many horses and people in the water. There are buildings on the left side of the image, and a city in the background. The sky is dark and cloudy. In the foreground, there are many fallen horses and people, some of whom appear to be dead or injured. The water is choppy and turbulent, with waves crashing against the shore. In the distance, you can see a city with buildings and towers. The painting is held at the National Museum in Warsaw.
