After the Combat is a 1680 oil by Jan Wyck, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting depicts a chaotic scene after a battle. Men on horseback and on foot are shown in the foreground, with some appearing to be injured or dead. In the background, a mountainous landscape stretches out under a cloudy sky. The artist's use of muted colors and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of movement and energy in the scene. The focus is on the action and emotion of the moment, rather than on precise details. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up chiaroscuro.
