SEBASTIAEN VRANCX (1573-1647), A BATTLE BEFORE SOME RUINS, OIL ON PANEL, DATED, BEARS A WAX SEAL

The life and work of Sébastien Vrancx (1573-1647) were strongly influenced by the Eighty Years' War, which began five years before the artist’s birth and ended a year after his death. The painter owes his fame to his numerous depictions of battles, and can be considered the founder of the military genre in the Netherlands. His detailed compositions can be assumed to be based on personal experience, as Vrancx pursued a military career alongside his life as an artist.

The present painting bears the hallmarks of the artist's late style, with as much emphasis on the varied aspects of the landscape as on the swarming figures in the foreground. Although this clash between cavalry and militia does not represent a specific battle, Vrancx takes care to capture the essence of a skirmish; the hectic scene conveys the full force of the conflict. The artist's attention to the soldiers' costumes and weapons is also evident.
