Charge of the Lancers, Boccioni

Charge of the Lancers painted by Umberto Boccioni in 1915 is an exaltation of struggle and war. These are the years of the First World War, and the exponents of the futurist movement are in favor of interventionism. In the painting, a group of soldiers on horseback stands out in the midst of a hard and victorious battle. In the lower left, the crushed enemy is overwhelmed and defeated.
