"ZonneBeke"

William Orpen, "Zonnebeke," Oil o Canvas, 635 cm X 762 cm, 1918


Orpen was an official war painter of the first World War. Much of his painting depict the violence and grief found in war zones. He visited many of the sites himself and portrayed them in a sense of anguish and suffering. I chose this piece in order to blatantly display the pain and horror of war.
