The following paintings are some of the largest that I represent. A painting of this size may be alternately described as "Heroic" in scale. Large paintings fulfil a greater purpose than smaller scale works. They command attention in a very large room. They anchor a large space, and perhaps most importantly, they provide a view, not unlike a grand window into another world.

Seller's Notes/Description: A monumental and majestic battle scene painted in high detail. The pure nobility of the majestic Arabian Horse is featured in this dramatic composition directly inspired by Gerome’s use of the diagonal in his compositions. This is undeniably Gueldry’s singular opus, the artist’s masterpiece. Settle in for a good read (below) all about the story of the War in Lace, Madame Pompadour, Colonel d’Ablancourt and the epic battle dressed in gallantry and roses, and about the epic journey the artist undertook in the creation of this heroic painting of a chivalrous act in the defense of the reputation of an honorable mistress of Louis XV, King of France.
