Event image
The event picture is a genre assigned to the genre of history painting.
The term was first introduced by the art historian Werner Hager in his work The historical event picture, published in 1939 . In contrast to the history picture , the motif of which can be any historical event from the past, the event picture is created in direct chronological order of the events depicted and relates to a single, specific event, for example a coronation ceremony or a specific battle, and possibly also to Lifetime of the depicted persons.
