Attributed to Philibert-Benoît de La Rue (Paris 1718 - c. 1780) France, 18th century Sanguine on laid paper An important battle scene on horseback, depicted with particularly expressive energy: cavalry in full frontal confrontation, horses overturned and combatants intertwined in the foreground, in a swirling composition characteristic of 18th-century military art. The vivid, energetic lines, attention to horse dynamics and dramatic effects bring this drawing closer to the well-known works of Philibert-Benoît de La Rue, an artist renowned for his military scenes and lively compositions. A fine historical piece, typical of the taste for heroic subjects and baroque gestures in the Age of Enlightenment. Philibert-Benoît de La Rue was a French draughtsman and engraver born in Paris in 1718 and active until around 1780. He is best known for his battle and cavalry scenes, often depicted with vigorous line, a highly dramatic sense of movement and richly detailed compositions. His works reflect the 18th-century fascination with military and heroic subjects, and he is one of the artists appreciated for the quality of his red chalk, ink and pen drawings, intended for engraving or illustrating military works.
