About the piece

Created in 1916 by artist Alfred Bastien, this oil on canvas captures the sweeping vista of the Ypres Salient from the vantage point of Kemmel Hill. The work is defined by its dramatic sky, where luminous, towering clouds dominate the upper composition, casting shifting light across the patchwork of fields below. Bastien's confident, painterly brushwork creates a sense of profound scale and historical gravity.
