The Road of Victory, 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful oil on canvas painting by Fernand Allard L Olivier that depicts the aftermath of war during the First World War. The image captures a scene of desolation and destruction, with dismembered horses killed by bombs scattered across the road. In a haunting display, camouflage masks hang on a washing line as reminders of the constant threat faced by soldiers. The painting serves as a grim reminder of the devastating impact of warfare on both humans and animals alike. Belgian and French soldiers are portrayed as victims in this war zone, their injuries evident and their physical health greatly affected. The wounded limb and injured bodies speak to the horrors experienced on the front lines. Amidst this bleak landscape, there is also an underlying message about medicine and healthcare during times of conflict. The presence of Asklepios, symbolizing medical science and healing, suggests hope amidst despair. It highlights the importance of medical services in providing care for those injured in combat. "The Road to Victory" not only pays tribute to those who fought bravely but also serves as a poignant commentary on the consequences of war. Through its detailed depiction of bomb damage and animal corpses, it reminds us all about the true cost paid for victory during one of history's darkest chapters - World War I.
