"The Evolution of Cavalry: A Journey Through History" Step into the world of cavalry divisions as we explore their rich history through captivating artworks. In "Portrait of Mother Jeronima de la Fuente, " painted in 1620, we catch a glimpse of the esteemed role women played in supporting these brave warriors. Their unwavering dedication and sacrifice were crucial to the success of cavalry operations. Fast forward to 1874, where "Combat for the Colors" showcases the fierce determination and bravery displayed by cavalry soldiers on the battlefield. The painting captures a pivotal moment when these courageous men fought valiantly to protect their regimental colors, symbolizing honor and pride. One cannot overlook Admiral Jacob van Heemskerck's victory over the Spanish near Gibraltar in 1607, depicted in an oil-on-canvas masterpiece from 1617. This naval triumph highlights how cavalry divisions often collaborated with other military branches to achieve strategic victories. Lord Roberts's entry into Pretoria during South Africa's Transvaal War is immortalized in Louis Creswicke's lithograph published in 1900. It portrays not only Lord Roberts but also his loyal troops who rode alongside him, showcasing their unity and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. The artwork "Greek Cavalry Men Resting in Forest" transports us back to ancient times when mounted warriors sought respite amidst nature's embrace. These moments allowed them to recharge before engaging enemies once again—a testament to both physical endurance and mental fortitude. Another piece from Creswicke's publication depicts Lord Roberts' column crossing Sand River Drift during South Africa's second Boer War—an image that encapsulates perseverance against harsh terrains while maintaining steadfast determination towards achieving victory. "The Advance Guard of an Army" offers a glimpse into tactical preparations as cavalry units position themselves strategically before launching into battle. This oil-on-panel artwork emphasizes meticulous planning and coordination required for successful military campaigns.
