About the piece
Painted in 1867, 'War' (La Guerre) is a quintessential example of the monumental, decorative style for which Pierre Puvis de Chavannes became celebrated. The work employs a muted, earthy palette and a signature flattened perspective to create a timeless allegory of devastation and resilience, featuring trumpeters heralding an uneasy landscape filled with mourning figures and rising smoke.
