Une foire aux chevaux près d'un camp militaire
c. 1665 - 1668
Philips Wouwerman was the ultimate horse enthusiast of the Dutch Golden Age, painting over 800 works and almost always sneaking in a white horse as his signature! This bustling Baroque scene captures the chaotic energy of a military encampment, where soldiers, traders, and horses mingle under a dramatic, cloudy sky. You can spot his trademark white horse right in the center, prancing amidst the tents and tattered flags. It's a lively snapshot of 17th-century military life that feels more like a busy marketplace than a battlefield, showcasing Wouwerman's incredible talent for capturing movement and atmosphere.
