This ikon relates to Richard Ernst Eurich's run equally a state of war artist. He worked for the War Artists Advisory Committee - for a issue of years during the Second World War.

At the goal of the war, the collection consisted of 5,570 works, over one-half of which are held past times IWM.

David Teter flora the prototype on the Google Art Project which gives the best thought of it (ie you lot tin zoom in). This is what the site says nigh the painting.

Eurich’s enigmatic composite ikon of province as well as naval forces massing off the South Coast earlier D-Day gives an impression of brooding calm earlier the storm.The nighttime belt of trees across the centre of the ikon obscures the transition from province to sea. The roads goal inward barriers of smoke or barbed wire as well as the solely agency forwards is into the unknown, through the huge jaw-like hold-doors of the fundamental ship. Camouflage netting, smoke screening as well as the camouflaged transportation all contribute to the feel of secrecy as well as hidden strength conveyed past times the painting.Eurich was a marine painter living close Southampton as well as was real familiar amongst this role of the coast, overlooking the Isle of Wight. He was a salaried state of war creative someone amongst an honorary commission of Captain inward the Royal Marines as well as would withdraw maintain been able to pigment from his ain observations. His wartime fashion has been compared to the sixteenth century Flemish painter Pieter Breughel whose run shows a similar attending to distant item as well as purposeful activities. Indeed, the gaping ship’s doors seem to echo Breughel’s Mouth of Hell, making a visual equation betwixt state of war as well as hell which agrees amongst Eurich’s Quaker background as well as beliefs.
