About the piece
Painted by Alfred Bastien in 1919, this impressionistic work commemorates Canadian troops passing through Wellington Arch in London. The monument is draped in the flags of the Allied nations, rising above a spirited crowd rendered with loose, energetic brushstrokes that convey the bustling energy of the post-war celebration.
