EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Boer War, 1900 - Last Summer Things were Greener, 1901" we are transported back in time to a moment of profound sadness and contemplation. Painted by the talented artist John Byam Liston Shaw, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 100x74.9 cm and is currently housed in the Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery. The image portrays a young girl standing by a tranquil lake, her face filled with deep sorrow and pensive thoughts. Dressed in mourning attire, she embodies the pain of loss that was prevalent during the Boer War era. The lush greenery surrounding her serves as a poignant reminder of happier times gone by. Shaw's exceptional skill is evident in his ability to capture not only the physical features but also the emotional state of his subject. Through subtle brushstrokes and delicate use of light, he conveys an overwhelming sense of loneliness experienced by those left behind after war. This painting invites us to reflect upon the devastating impact that conflict has on individuals and communities alike. It reminds us that even amidst natural beauty, grief can overshadow everything else. As we gaze at this powerful artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us remember those who have suffered through loss and contemplate how we can strive for peace in our own lives and society.
