About the piece

Painted in 1919 by British war artist Herbert Hughes-Stanton, this masterfully executed nocturne depicts the cemetery at Pas de Calais. The composition balances deep, silhouetted foreground foliage against the ethereal glow of a low moon, which reflects softly across the water and illuminates the distant valley with a sense of quiet, contemplative peace.
