Landscape with a Convoy
by VRANCX, Sebastian, Oil on panel, 44 x 64 cm
The painting shows a landscape with a convoy on a wooded track under attack from bandits who have been hiding in the undergrowth on the right-hand side of the painting. The wagon has stopped as its driver flees for the safety of the bushes, whilst its occupants are left stranded inside. The scene is set in a softly coloured and brightly-lit landscape, which contrasts with the darker theme of the painting.
