Battle Scene

Philip Wouwerman, 1640–1649

This painting of a battle scene captures the engagement of the infantry and firing muskets to the left of the painting, and the cavalry on the right-hand side of the painting. This painting was part of a collection of 117 works belonging to the industrialist and engineer F.D. Lycett Green and bequeathed to York through the Art Fund, in 1955, in recognition of the remarkable efforts made after the Second World War by its curator to transform it into a gallery of international importance.
