About the piece
Painted in 1919 by Colin Gill, this work captures the stark reality of the Great War through a modernist aesthetic. The composition focuses on British soldiers in a trench, their green uniforms contrasting with the charred remains of the landscape and the rhythmic, atmospheric plumes of artillery smoke that fill the horizon.
