Flandern oder Frankreich, 1757
Relief mit der Schlacht am Granikos
The composition of this fine boxwood relief parallels the painting Le Passage du Granique (The Battle of the Granicus), painted in 1665 by the renowned French painter Charles Le Brun (1619-1690), court painter to Louis XIV. The painting is now in the Louvre museum (inv. no INV 2894 ; MR 1915).
