Sul dipinto
Pietro Graziani (active early 18th century) was a Neapolitan painter, active in both Naples and Rome, and first recorded by Bernardo De Dominici in his Vite de' pittori, scultori ed architetti napoletani (1742, III, p. 175). He is known as a battle painter and is sometimes confused with Francesco Graziani called 'Ciccio Napoletano' who was also recorded as a battle painter and to whom he may be related.
This small oil on copper appers to be characteristic of Pietro Graziani's output, which has been rediscovered over the last few decades. The painting depicts an unidentified battle scene in which a tangle of intertwined bodies of horses and men. This painting is a good example of the small battle scenes produced during the 18th century in a much sketchier manner than the realistic scenes depicted in the previous century.
