About the piece

Painted in 1916 by Wilhelm Dachauer, this evocative work captures the heavy toll of war. Soldiers are seen navigating a blasted forest, their forms silhouetted against a hazy, overcast sky. The skeletal, gnarled trees and the thick, muddy ground create a hauntingly beautiful yet melancholic atmosphere characteristic of Great War era painting.
