A pair of panels depicting, respectively, a "Battle Scene in a Landscape" and "Soldiers in a Landscape." Both scenes are composed in the same way, with a foreground framed by trees where the action takes place, and a background opening onto a body of water and a mountainous landscape. The panels are attributed to Elias Martin (1739-1818), a Swedish landscape and history painter. He worked for ten years in England and is particularly known for his landscapes with a distinctly Nordic atmosphere and romantic lighting effects. Oil on oak panels.
