About the piece
Painted in 1918 by A. Y. Jackson, this evocative work depicts a gas attack at Liévin during the First World War. Jackson, a founding member of Canada's renowned Group of Seven, uses a somber, muted palette to emphasize the unsettling atmosphere, where the glow of flares and chemical clouds creates a hauntingly beautiful yet somber nocturnal scene.
