The painting "The Trophy, the 4th Dragoons Returning from a Charge" by Édouard Detaille, painted in 1898, shows a dramatic scene of a cavalry unit returning triumphantly after a charge. The image shows a group of horsemen, dressed in historic military uniforms, returning on horseback. The front rider holds up a large flag, richly decorated with an eagle and gold ornaments. The horses are at full gallop, emphasising the dynamics and energy of the scene. A fallen helmet and a lance lie on the ground, suggesting the intensity of the battle.
This painting is interesting because it depicts the heroism and glory of cavalry in the 19th century and shows Detaille's skill in capturing military subjects.
Jean-Baptiste Édouard Detaille (Paris, France, 5 October 1848 - 23 December 1912) was a French academic painter and military artist known for his precision and realistic detail. He was considered the "semi-official artist of the French army".
