Artistic analysis
This oil painting by the aragonese artist depicts the Battle of Roncesvalles, which took place in 778, when an army of basques ambushed part of Charlemagne’s forces. The painting is notable for its impressive detail, both in the imposing mountain and in the army deployed upon it; despite its small size, it is rendered with great precision.
