About the piece

Painted in 1918 by Gyrth Russell, this oil study depicts Vimy Ridge from Souchez following the Great War. Rather than focusing on the chaos of conflict, Russell employs a soft, luminist palette of lavender, pale blue, and cream to render the scarred landscape. The skeletal remains of trees line a winding road, creating a poignant and contemplative composition that balances historical gravity with painterly elegance.
