The academically-trained French artist Jacques Gamelin specialized in scenes of antiquity, religion, war, and death, after studying under David and becoming court painter to Pope Clement the XIV. “An Ancient Battle Scene” is quintessential Gamelin, depicting slaughter and strife, sparing little bloody detail, and neither glorifying nor condemning armed struggle between men. This remastered, Mixed-Media tableau is perfect for Classical Interior Design and Luxury Estates in Austin, Texas.
