Painting with Scene of Battle mid-18th century

mid 700s

About the Item

Oil on Canvas. The scene depicts a battle between an army of Moors and white soldiers, defending a fortification from which cannons are firing, while in the background a white city emerges on top of a promontory. Set near the sea, with several vessels of the invaders heading toward the coast, the scene focuses on the capture of the Moorish king, in the center on his white horse, with a 'dismayed expression on his face because he is surrounded by opposing soldiers trying to unseat him, while his try to defend it. The atmosphere of the scene is dominated by dust and from the smoke of the cannons, which coat all the characters of an earthy glaze, even where the colors of the robes would be more vivid. Restored and re-tinted, the painting is presented in a styled frame.
