Légende
Collision of the Moorish Horsemen, 1843-1844. Delacroix uses fluid brush work to capture the colour and movement of an Arab Fantasia, or ceremonial cavalry charge, mimicking battle, which he witnessed at the court of Sultan Abd-er-Rahmen of Morocco (1778-1859) while accompanying Count Charles de Mornay on a diplomatic expedition on behalf of King Louis Philippe of France in 1832. He focuses on two riders who have broken from the ranks, their horses startled by the simultaneous firing of guns that ends the maneuver.
