This work, filed in the author's archive, depicts a dynamic and dramatic scene that recalls the theme of conflict. Signed at lower right Visual description: Main subjects: The work depicts a series of stylized and abstracted human figures on horseback involved in an intense and eventful confrontation. The figures are almost skeletal and have an angular, fragmented appearance. Movement: The positions of the figures and horses suggest a sense of chaotic dynamism, with tilted bodies, outstretched arms, and postures that convey energy and tension. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is surreal and dreamlike, almost suspended, with a moon illuminating the scene from above, contributing to the sense of mystery and theatricality. Style: The style is reminiscent of expressionism, with marked outlines and simplified forms that emphasize the emotional rather than the realistic. Interpretation: "The Great Battle" can be interpreted as a symbolic representation of human conflict, both internal and external. The chaotic composition and sense of movement evoke the idea of struggle, tension and fragility, themes often found in Landi's work.
