This painting shows a lone soldier on a horse, mid-motion, with a dark, stormy background. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the scene a sense of urgency. The soldier’s face is blurred, and the horse’s muscles look tense. The painting feels raw and urgent, like a quick sketch of action. The dark colors and bold strokes make the scene feel intense. If this style interests you, look up impasto next.
