The Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava on 25th October, 1854, illustration from 'British Battles on Land and Sea' edited by Sir Evelyn Wood
In this category you will find impressive paintings of historical battles and mythological fights like David against Goliath.
In a time before the invention of photography, art and painting were important means of documenting historical events and recording them for posterity. Battles and wars are - first of all considered in a completely value-free way - important historical events and therefore important subjects in art since ancient times. One could therefore see paintings of battles as part of history's coverage of war, since the people involved and the events themselves were recorded for the present and for posterity. At the same time, paintings of battle scenes are political statements that can glorify or demonize the acting persons - depending on which of the acting parties the artist is close to or whether he wants to praise or condemn war as such.
Regardless, paintings of battles are often among the most imposing works of painting because of the abundance of people and details, in which one can always discover new aspects. The figures depicted are seldom shown in rigid poses, but rather in the fertile moment, that is, in the instant of a movement, which suggests both the preceding part of the movement and the one yet to be executed. In this way the paintings achieve a dynamism all their own and are indeed more reminiscent of snapshots in photography than of arrangements composed by the painter.
Besides art lovers, the target groups for these paintings are history buffs and collectors of militaria. If you belong to one of these groups, you will certainly find what you are looking for here. The team of MeisterDrucke.com wishes a lot of fun while browsing.
