# A Cavalry Battle [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MEULENER, Pieter]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on panel, 53 x 81 cm ## Commentary This painting belongs to the unspecified battle scenes. Curiously, most of the battle scenes have no references to time or place. The painters visualised current events in a general way. As their clients, from nobility and the higher middle classes, belonged to the cavalry \(which made out a quarter of the army\) they mostly painted cavalry battles, much less engagements between cavalry and infantry. The painting is signed and dated bottom right "P.MEVLENER. 1650". ## Related artworks - [Cavalry Battle Scene]() - [Cavalry Skirmish]() - [River Landscape]() - [Sack of a Flemish Village by Spanish Soldiers]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
