- Date

Warriors and horses clash on a beach as ships burn in the background, spread across three connected panels. The chaotic, high-energy composition makes a dramatic, oversized statement piece.
This work is on view only. The museum's scan is too small or too narrow to print at 150 DPI in any of our canvas or frame sizes, so we don't sell it.
