With vibrant colors that bring life to every detail, it transports viewers back in time to witness a crucial chapter in France's history. Displayed at Madrid's Museo del Prado, this remarkable photograph was taken by Santiago Ortega and pays homage to Peeter Snayers' original painting. Snayers, a renowned Flemish artist from the 17th century, skillfully depicted scenes of warfare with incredible precision and realism.
