Cavalry Attack with Soldiers Fleeing is a 1592 ink by Antonio Tempesta, a Renaissance work, depicting Battle, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows horses and soldiers in a chaotic scene. It's a battle with people running away. The artist made this scene using a lot of movement and energy. This energy makes the scene feel intense. You can compare this to other battle scenes by looking at the work of another artist, like the artist: Tempesta, Antonio, or learn more about the technique: etching, at the museum: National Gallery of Art, Washington, but to learn the technique used here, look up the technique: etching.
Antonio Tempesta, also called il Tempestino (1555 – 5 August 1630), was an Italian painter and engraver, whose art acted as a point of connection between Baroque Rome and the culture of Antwerp.
