Charles-Philogene Tschaggeny - An Episode on the Field of Battle [1848]


This painting is probably intended to show a battle in the English Civil War. It was presumably painted during the artist's stay in England, and was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1850. Tschaggeny (1815 – 1894) was born in Brussels. He was taught by Verboeckhoven. In 1848-50 he worked in England. He died near Brussels. He was a figure and animal painter, and an engraver.
