About the piece

Painted in 1917, C.R.W. Nevinson’s 'The Road from Arras to Bapaume' is a definitive work of early 20th-century art, capturing the desolate beauty of the Western Front. The composition is dominated by the dramatic receding perspective of the road, rendered with a clean, almost modern aesthetic that reflects the artist’s Vorticist influences and bold handling of light and form.
