Circle of Jacques Courtois, known as Borgognone (Saint-Hyppolite 1621 - Rome 1676) - Knightly battle.

Circle of Jacques Courtois, known as Borgognone (Saint-Hyppolite 1621 - Rome 1676) - Knightly battle. 53 x 80 cm. Oil on canvas, unframed. The composition fits within the tradition of 17th-century battle painting, of which Jacques Courtois, known as Borgognone, was one of the most recognizable interpreters in Italy in the second half of the 17th century. The scene depicts a group of knights in full combat, rendered with rapid brushstrokes and a limited color palette of browns, grays, and whites, enlivened by touches of light emerging from the dark background. A second group of combatants is glimpsed in the background, immersed in a dusty light that suggests the depth of the battlefield. The compositional structure and the handling of tonal contrasts are reminiscent of Borgognone's circle, without it being possible, at present, to propose a more specific attribution.
