EDITORS COMMENTS
Bethune: The Clock Tower and Convoy of Lorries" is a captivating topographical painting by the renowned British artist, Walter Percival Starmer (1881-1960), from the BWS (Birmingham Society of Arts and Sciences) Exhibition collection, dated between 1905 and 1960. This evocative work of art transports us back in time to the historic town of Bethune in northern France during the First World War. At the heart of the painting lies the grand Clock Tower, a symbol of Bethune's rich history and resilience. The clock tower, with its intricate Gothic architecture and ornate details, stands tall against the backdrop of a grey and moody sky, hinting at the impending storm. The clock's hands, frozen in time, add a sense of stillness and tranquility amidst the chaos of the war. The painting's main focus, however, is the long convoy of lorries making their way through the town. The lorries, laden with supplies and equipment, are a testament to the relentless efforts of the Allied forces to maintain their logistical support during the war. The narrow streets of Bethune are filled with the dust and debris of war, and the lorries navigate their way carefully through the town, their headlights cutting through the gloom. Starmer's use of muted colors and bold brushstrokes adds depth and texture to the painting, creating a sense of realism and authenticity. The painting provides a unique insight into the military and topographical history of the First World War, and is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this pivotal period in world history. Overall, "Bethune: The Clock Tower and Convoy of Lorries" is a powerful and evocative work of art that captures the essence of a town at war, and the resilience and determination of those who lived through it.
