About the piece

Painted in 1918 by A.Y. Jackson, this evocative oil on canvas depicts Vimy Ridge from the Souchez Valley. Jackson, a prominent member of Canada's Group of Seven, uses thick, expressive brushstrokes to capture the rugged terrain and the vast, shifting clouds of a war-torn landscape, creating a piece that is both historically significant and visually compelling.
