About the piece

Painted in 1918, this work by A.Y. Jackson captures the scarred landscape of Angres during the First World War. The composition utilizes the artist's signature textured brushwork to depict the churned earth of the battlefield and the skeletal remains of the town, rendered with a sophisticated palette that balances the somber subject with an expansive, luminous sky.
