EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Lieutenant-General Sir A. W. Currie, painted by William Orpen in 1918, transports us back to the tumultuous era of World War I. This oil on canvas print, measuring 91.4x76.2 cm, is housed in the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Canada. Lieutenant-General Sir A. W. Currie was a remarkable figure who played a significant role in shaping Canadian military history during the Great War. Clad in his impeccable uniform, he exudes an air of authority and determination that befits his rank and achievements. Knighted in 1917 for his exceptional leadership and strategic brilliance on the battlefield, Currie stands as a symbol of courage and resilience amidst the chaos of war. The half-length portrait captures his steely gaze and resolute expression, reflecting both his unwavering commitment to duty and the weighty responsibility he bore as commander. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers like Currie during World War I – their dedication to protecting their homeland and fighting for freedom should never be forgotten. Orpen's masterful brushstrokes bring this historical figure to life with incredible detail and depth. Through this artwork, we are transported into an intimate encounter with one of Canada's most esteemed military leaders from the First World War. As we admire this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us remember those who fought bravely during these turbulent times – their legacy continues
