A magnificent 18th-century French painting. This oil on canvas artwork depicts the halt of the mounted grenadiers of the King's Guard by Charles Parrocel (1688-1752), one of the most representative works of 18th-century French military painting. Born into an artistic family, he enlisted in the cavalry to gain a thorough understanding of military operations and specialized in battle scenes.
In this composition, the King's elite soldiers are depicted taking a break at the military camp, a scene of repose among officers and mounted soldiers during a military campaign. This is a very high-quality contemporary copy of the original currently on display at the Louvre in Paris, presumably the work of a student or workshop of the artist.
A painting of remarkable pictorial quality, characterized by solid construction of the figures, refined rendering of the uniforms, and effective chromatic balance. A painting of considerable size, ideal for a large reception room and perfect for military history enthusiasts. The artwork has already been restored with relining, replacement of the stretcher, and retouching of small areas of color. Overall in good condition.
