Castle siege

Material, technology: oil, canvas

Size: 38.5 x 52 cn

Description: The peculiarity of the two compositions is the powerful contrast of the two picture planes, with the enlarged silhouette-like horseman in the elevated foreground and the animated crowds in the background. This form was also disseminated by the engravings made after Antonio Tempesta’s (1555-1630) pictures. Probably the painter of the Pannonhalma pictures also used engravings as his models.
