Les Conquérants: Reproduction after Fritel
A dense line of armoured horsemen advances towards the viewer beneath raised standards. Bodies cover the ground in front of them, while dark sky closes the space behind. The caption identifies a reproduction from Les Conquérants by Fritel. Perkins places the image beside verse about conquest and a mighty host moving through rows of the dead, making the painter’s martial procession part of the poem’s troubled visions.
