NOTE
|
This picture's unusual subject attracted my attention - Not the
usual Munnings' horses in a rural setting, instead the animals
are in much more sombre surroundings. I particularly like the
depiction of the war-torn landscape, and the peacefullness of
soldiers watering their horses in a hostile environment. There
are no weapons on view and Munnings has used drab colours to
depict the gloomy surroundings, the exception being the grey
horse which provides contrast and a focal point. I think
Munnings has captured the moment in time perfectly. I consider
this a great picture that provokes though and provides
historical interest.
