Armistice Day, 1920
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by John Lavery that captures the essence of celebration and victory following the end of World War One. The scene depicted in this artwork takes place at Wellington Arch in Hyde Park Corner, London. The arch stands tall and proud, adorned with a magnificent Quadriga sculpture representing Victory. The painting showcases a bustling crowd gathered around the arch, eagerly celebrating the armistice that came into effect on November 11th, 1918. People from all walks of life can be seen rejoicing together; their faces filled with relief and joy after years of devastating conflict. Amidst the jubilant atmosphere, cars and buses traverse Constitution Hill while a red cross ambulance symbolizes healing and hope for a better future. This composition not only commemorates the end of fighting on the Western Front but also highlights the ongoing negotiations for peace at the Paris Peace Conference. Lavery's masterful brushstrokes bring to life this historical moment, capturing both individual expressions and collective emotions. Through his artistry, he immortalizes an important chapter in history when nations united to rebuild after war's destruction. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Lavery's talent as well as reflect upon our shared human capacity for resilience and reconciliation even amidst great adversity.
