军营 by Philips Wouwerman, c. 1660 - 1670

Philips Wouwerman was the Dutch Golden Age’s most prolific painter of horses, and this bustling military scene proves he never lost his touch. Notice the stunning dappled grey horse in the center? Wouwerman painted over 800 works, and a white or grey horse appears in almost every single one of them! Instead of glorifying battle, he captures the chaotic downtime of army life—soldiers lounging by tents and flags fluttering under a massive, dramatic sky. It’s a lively snapshot of 17th-century logistics that feels surprisingly modern.
