"The Battle Between Lekkerbeetje and Braut on the Heath of Vught" is a painting by the Flemish artist Sebastiaen Vrancx (1573–1647), known for his contributions to the genre of battle scenes and landscapes in the early Baroque period. This artwork captures a historical event that took place on February 5, 1600, on the heath of Vught, near 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands. The duel was fought between Gerard van Houwelingen, known as Lekkerbeetje, a Dutch cavalry captain, and Isaac du Pree, referred to as Braut, a French cavalry captain in the service of the Spanish army.

The painting depicts the dramatic and violent encounter between the two men, set against the backdrop of a vast and desolate heath. Vrancx's attention to detail and his ability to convey the chaos and fervor of battle are evident in the dynamic composition of the scene. The artist's use of color and light enhances the intensity of the moment, with the central figures of Lekkerbeetje and Braut engaged in mortal combat, surrounded by their respective supporters and onlookers.

Sebastiaen Vrancx's work serves not only as an artistic representation of a historical event but also as a reflection of the military and political tensions of his time. The duel itself was a result of a personal challenge issued after a quarrel and was fought on horseback with lances, a testament to the chivalric traditions that persisted into the early modern period.

"The Battle Between Lekkerbeetje and Braut on the Heath of Vught" is significant for its historical subject matter and for showcasing Vrancx's skill in capturing the essence of battle scenes, which would influence later artists in the genre. The painting is an important piece within Vrancx's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and historical context of the late 16th and early 17th centuries in the Low Countries.
