This battle scene is typical of Weier's paintings in the style of Philip Wouwermans. It is one of the two paintings by Weier that are dated 1645; they provide the earliest evidence of his activity as a painter. ...
This is not known to represent a specific battle or historical event. The figures are in seventeenth-century dress. The architecture & the cypress trees show that the scene is a southern one, presumably Italian, & the picture no doubt reflects Verschur ...
Wouwermans' battle scenes were almost certainly never intended to represent specific engagements. Another version of this picture (St Petersburg, Hermitage) was, however, described as showing a battle between Poles & Swedes. The horsemen advancing from the left have fur-trimmed caps & curved swords, & the figure in the centre wields a battle hammer. Their opponents have blue flags, which may be intended to be the Swedish colours.

It is thought that this cartoon is largely the work of Agostino Carracci in execution, but Annibale was connected with the project. Another cartoon in the collection, 'A Woman borne off by a Sea God (?)' was designed for the same project. ...
