About the Item

The Cavalry Skirmish Flemish School, mid 17th century circle of Lambert de Hondt (Flemish, 1620-1665) oil on panel, framed Framed: 21 x 27 inches Board: 16 x 22 inches Provenance: private collection, France Condition: very good condition, with old repairs and thinning in places. This painting, attributed to the circle of Lambert de Hondt (Flemish, 17th century), depicts an intense battle scene, typical of Flemish military compositions of the time. Lambert de Hondt was known for his battle scenes, landscapes, and hunting scenes, often filled with dynamic action and fine detail, and this work clearly reflects his influence. The artwork portrays a cavalry skirmish with soldiers in traditional 17th-century military dress, including red tunics and helmets, engaging in fierce combat. The cavalrymen are shown in mid-charge, their horses galloping as clouds of dust and smoke swirl in the air, creating a palpable sense of motion and chaos. In the foreground, a fallen horse and soldiers convey the brutality of the battle, while the background reveals more combatants advancing across the battlefield. The painting uses earthy tones and subtle blues, with de Hondt's characteristic attention to the rendering of horses and figures in motion. The clouds overhead add drama, while the barren trees contribute to the painting's somber atmosphere. This type of battle scene would have been a favorite of the Flemish Baroque period, capturing the heroism, energy, and violence of warfare. The association with Lambert de Hondt adds significant value, placing the work within the rich tradition of Flemish battle painting. This piece is a compelling example of the genre, demonstrating both narrative intensity and detailed artistry.
