About the piece

Painted in 1918, this compelling oil work by Giulio Aristide Sartorio depicts soldiers navigating a road under bombardment during the height of the Great War. The composition is masterfully anchored by a startling block of vibrant crimson, creating a sharp, modern tension against the atmospheric and somber tones of the wartime setting.
