EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait captures the essence of 2nd Lieutenant Alfred Victor Smith, VC, a brave and gallant soldier who fought during the tumultuous years of World War I. Painted in oil on canvas by Isaac Cooke, this masterpiece measures 131x85.1 cm and is housed at the Towneley Hall Art Gallery and Museum in Burnley, Lancashire. Alfred Victor Smith was an English hero who received the prestigious Victoria Cross for his exceptional bravery. At just 24 years old, he served as a second lieutenant in the 1/5th Battalion, East Lancashire Regiment of the British Army. Tragically, he lost his life on December 23rd, 1915 while fighting valiantly at Helles in Gallipoli, Turkey. This posthumous painting immortalizes Smith's courage and sacrifice for future generations to admire. Dressed in his uniform with a grenade symbolizing warfare beside him against a stunning landscape backdrop; it serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors endured during that time. Smith's portrait not only pays tribute to his individual heroism but also represents countless others who selflessly gave their lives for their country during the Great War. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from Smith's determined gaze to his military regalia - evoking both admiration and solemnity. As we reflect upon this powerful artwork, let us remember those who made unimaginable sacrifices so that we may live freely today.
