  2. The anonymous artwork "Rustende Soldaten bij Driefontein" from 1901 captures a poignant moment, intertwining human vulnerability and the harsh realities of war. What emotions does this piece evoke for you?

  3. "Regimental Band," Darsie Japp, 1918.

    Japp (1883-1973) was a British artist and soldier; this is his best-known work.

    He attended Oxford, worked in his father's shipping company, and took night classes in art. He was a good friend of Stanley Spencer (an artist I will never feature because I cannot stand him or his art, sorry, I have my limits) and took up landscapes and figure paintings. He later exhibited with the New British Art Club.

    He joined the British Army in WWI and became major in the Royal Field Artillery. He and his friend Spencer (also serving) had been tapped to work on a British national hall of remembrance that was stillborn. After the war, Japp gave up art and bred race horses.

    This was purportedly to be a design for a poster, but we're not sure for what. It's an interesting image, to be sure. Is the sky a circus tent, or is it being lit by explosions?

    From the Imperial War Museum, London.

  4. The intensity of conflict captured in "Britse soldaten vallen Duitse stellingen bij het bos van Bernafay aan" evokes deep emotions and reflections on war. How does this artwork shape our understanding of history and sacrifice?

  6. On the 20th of November 1945, the Nuremberg Trials began. It was on this day several Nazi leaders were tried and prosecuted for their war crimes during the second World War. A man who attended these trials was the soviet cartoonist Boris Efimov.
