The Attack is an unspecified by Unknown, depicting Aeneas, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
The painting depicts a chaotic scene of men in ancient attire, some wearing helmets and carrying weapons, as they climb up rocky terrain. In the foreground, a man lies on the ground, while another figure is shown falling. The background is dominated by a large cloud of smoke or dust. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of tension and energy, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. The rocky terrain and the men's actions suggest a dramatic and intense moment in time. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who explored the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
