"Soldier on horseback"

About the Item

Attributed to Antonio Calza (1653–1725, Verona) "Soldier on Horseback" Oil on panel Diameter: 26 cm This striking oil painting on panel, attributed to the renowned Italian Baroque painter Antonio Calza, captures a dramatic moment in a military campaign. Calza, celebrated for his battle scenes and equestrian compositions, was a master of dynamic movement, rich atmospheric effects, and finely detailed figures. His works often depict heroic soldiers and commanding officers in action, reflecting the grandeur and intensity of 17th-century warfare. In this composition, a noble soldier on horseback, seen from behind, gestures forcefully with his sword, leading his troops into battle. The background reveals a rugged landscape with fortified structures, suggesting a strategic military engagement in the Italian or European countryside. The warm golden tones and contrasting shadows enhance the depth and drama of the scene, while the circular format gives it an intimate yet powerful presence. Encased in an elegant antique gilded frame, this piece is a fine example of Baroque military painting, making it an exceptional addition to any collection of historical or battle-themed artwork. A rare find, reflecting the artistic excellence and martial spirit of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
