Anthonie Palamedesz., called Palamedes Stevaerts, was a Delft painter best known for his military and “merry company” paintings. This battle scene dates from what is considered Stevaerts’ most original period of work, 1632-34. In the following decades, he favored the more static subjects of guardrooms and encampments.
