Painting is a 1944 paint by Rex-Film, held at Photographic Archive of the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte.
This is a raised, gold-toned scene inside a framed panel. Figures are carved-looking, not painted. One man sits on a rock, holding a staff. Others stand around him—some look worried, one holds a spear. A horse rears up in the background, and a few smaller figures float above. The figures are stiff and flat, like they’re carved in relief. The gold color stands out against the dark background. Look up chiaroscuro next—it’s the technique that uses strong light and dark contrasts.
Rex-Film was a painter whose work is hard to pin down without a clear movement tag or era.
