About the piece
Painted by Louis Weirter in 1918, this oil on canvas captures French Canadian soldiers entering the ruins of Péronne. The work uses expressive brushwork and a sophisticated tonal palette to depict the intensity of the scene, with towering plumes of dark smoke contrasting against the cool, painterly sky.
