About the piece
Created in 1789 by British artist William Artaud, this dramatic work illustrates a scene from William Collins' 'Ode to Mercy.' The painting showcases masterful 18th-century technique, contrasting the luminous, pleading figure of Mercy against the dark, stormy atmosphere and the golden-armored figure of War.
