From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Cavalry Charge with Soldiers and Horses Trampled is a 1592 ink by Antonio Tempesta, a Renaissance work, depicting Battle, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a chaotic scene of horses and soldiers trampled in a cavalry charge. This etching shows a lot of action and energy. The horses are falling, and the soldiers are scattered. It's interesting that the artist used simple lines to create such a dramatic scene. Check out the work of artist Tempesta, Antonio, to learn more about his style and other etchings.
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.
