EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intensity and determination of Lieutenant General Sir Arthur Currie during World War I. The painting, created by renowned military artist Lucien Hector Jonas in 1917, showcases Currie's distinguished military career. In February 1915, Jonas was officially accredited as a military painter to the Musée de l'Armée in Paris. Throughout the war, he traveled extensively along all sections of the front lines, producing thousands of drawings, oil paintings, charcoals, sketches, and illustrations of various kinds. Jonas was particularly known for his portraits of military leaders and soldiers in various national uniforms. This portrait of Sir Arthur Currie, a Canadian military commander, is a testament to Jonas's exceptional artistic skills and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. Currie, who led the Canadian Corps to victory in several major battles, including the Battle of Vimy Ridge, is depicted with a stern yet focused expression, reflecting the gravity of his leadership role. The painting, which is part of the vast collection of the Musée de l'Armée, provides a unique glimpse into the history of the First World War and the individuals who played a significant role in shaping its outcome. The portrait is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by military leaders and soldiers during this pivotal period in history.
