image: two figures are positioned at the top of a hill in the foreground. The figure to the left stands holding a crucifix
and a burning torch, fanning the raging battle that goes on beneath him, to the left. The more typically Christ-like figure to the right
sits serenely, overlooking an idyllic peaceful scene to the right, of peasants farming the land, planting trees and a young mother nursing
her children. The scene to the left is a maelstrom of hellish conflict, the scene to the right emphasising the traditional French agrarian
way of life interrupted by war. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | peasants French Army Action Military Personnel Landscape Religion agriculture / food First World War Jesus Christ Imperial German Army | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Léandre, Charles Lucien | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
