Polish Cavalry Charge 1939 (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. version, after GSC Game World 2007) Painting

I find the legend of the Polish Cavalry charge against the actual documented evidence of the event interesting. I wished to portray the Polish Cavalry, not in their moment of defeat, but as a kind of ludicrous Romantic triumph. All the colors and the sky within the piece are taken from the videogame S.T.A.L.K.E.R. which is based on the 1979 Andrei Tarkovsky film Stalker , as well as Stalker, the film's subsequent novelization. The sky taken from the game still when translated to paint takes on a Romantic appearance and yet the source of the Turner like evening glow in the painting is an exploding atom bomb, an unlikely scene alongside a cavalry change and yet both are sources from WW2. It shows the kind of false heroism found in Hollywood, subtly hinting at Poland’s emulation of American culture yet the atom bomb sent from America is about to wipe out everything.
