 viii PHILIPS WOUWERMAN 497 In the collection of Prince Eugene of Savoy. In the Louvre, Paris, 1799-1815. In the Royal Picture Gallery, Turin, 1899 catalogue, No. 408 ; it was in the Royal Palace, Turin, 1842 (Sm., who valued it at 472 : ios.). 767. A Cavalry Fight. Near a hill crowned with a windmill. The picture is so dirty that its authenticity, though probable, cannot be accepted without reserve. In the Patriarchal Seminary, Venice. 768. A CAVALRY FIGHT. On a tree-clad hill to the left a horseman is violently attacked by three others. One of them has fallen, and his grey horse runs away down into the middle distance. The man attacked grasps the second assailant's arm with his left hand and strikes at him with the sword in his right hand. The third assailant fires. On the right, a countrywoman in a cottage standing farther back watches the affray and calls the rider's three comrades to the rescue. They rush out of a stable at the side ; one has already mounted. A man timidly slinks away from a shed at the back. An interesting early work. The landscape shows a distinctly Italian influence, and the horses differ in type from those of the later period. Signed on the right at foot with the early monogram ; canvas, 38^ inches by 48^ inches. Given to the Academy by Count Lamberg, 1821. In the Vienna Academy, 1900 catalogue, No. 835. 769. A BATTLE BETWEEN CAVALRY AND IN- FANTRY. In the centre foreground, the general on a bay horse is riding to the left. Behind him, infantry with cuirasses charge to the left against cavalry.

In the right foreground, a foot-soldier, seen from the back, is loading his gun. The battle rages at the foot of a hill in the distance. The general in front is a portrait, but the artist's skill is not quite equal to the task. Signed on the right at foot with the full monogram ; canvas, 42^ inches by 57 J inches.
