About the piece

Created in 1918, this work by celebrated British war artist Paul Nash depicts the shattered remains of Inverness Copse near Ypres. The stark silhouettes of devastated trees against the pale, radiating sun capture the haunting silence and destruction of the Western Front with a powerful Modernist aesthetic that remains striking today.
