About the piece
Sir John Lavery’s 1919 painting offers a solemn view of the cemetery at Étaples following the First World War. The repetitive rhythm of the simple wooden crosses stretches toward the horizon, balanced by a luminous, cloud-streaked sky that brings a sense of quiet dignity and peace to the somber landscape.
