Images of War: World War I – Looking Back to the Renaissance / ​Visit to Imperial War Museum

A short series to commemorate the art of the Great War, through a very particular view point – that of the connections between the official art commissioned and the influence of Renaissance painting on those commissions. This influence is perhaps not obvious, however it was crucial since the British War Memorials Committee charged with commissioning war art for a Hall of Remembrance, held up Uccello's Battle of San Romano as the standard bearer for the size and scale of new canvases commissioned. Further connections between both periods, will be discussed in relation to sculpted memorial monuments to the fallen of WW1


Visit to Imperial War Museum where you will consider Nash's war imagery and that of his contemporaries.
