To simplify the expression \((7x^2 + 13x - 19) - (4x + 7 - 16x^2)\), we first distribute the negative sign through the second set of parentheses:

\[
(7x^2 + 13x - 19) - (4x + 7 - 16x^2) = 7x^2 + 13x - 19 - 4x - 7 + 16x^2
\]

Next, we combine like terms:

1. For \(x^2\) terms: \(7x^2 + 16x^2 = 23x^2\)
2. For \(x\) terms: \(13x - 4x = 9x\)
3. For constant terms: \(-19 - 7 = -26\)

Putting it all together, we get:

\[
23x^2 + 9x - 26
\]

Thus, the expression equivalent to \((7x^2 + 13x - 19) - (4x + 7 - 16x^2)\) is:

\[
\boxed{23x^2 + 9x - 26}
\]
