This painting shows a chaotic battle between cavalry soldiers. Horses rear and trample fallen men, while riders clash with swords and lances. Bright flags and armor stand out against a stormy sky with swirling clouds. The artist packed lots of action into one scene, making it feel messy and intense. This style was common in history paintings of the time. Next, look up Baroque to see why drama like this was a big deal.
