Description
Palamedes Palamedesz d. Ä., 1607 London – 1638 Delft, zugeschrieben
THE HORRORS OF THE 30-YEAR WAR Oil on wood. 57 x 82 cm. Attributed to the named artist on old label verso, old red paint stamp and typographical explanations. In offset profile frame. The present painting, probably created in Antwerp around 1631-1632, is particularly typical of the aforementioned painter and deals with the Thirty Years' War. A similar work by him was sold at Sotheby's London on April 15, 1999 under lot 10. However, an equestrian battle, which was auctioned at Christie's in Amsterdam on May 8, 2012 under lot 53, can also be easily compared. Palamedesz always endeavors to create a wide horizon obscured by clouds of smoke, which outstrips the scenery, which is fought over by soldiers, some of them on horseback, often on a small hill.
