EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant and emotional print of "Goodbye, Old Man" by Fortunino Matania captures a heartbreaking moment during the First World War. The image shows a gunner saying farewell to his dying horse, highlighting the deep bond between man and animal even in times of war.
The original painting was created for the Blue Cross Fund, a charity that raised money to help animals affected by the conflict. In this scene, we see the gunner standing solemnly beside his loyal companion as they both face the harsh realities of battle.
The setting is on a desolate road near an artillery battery in Flanders, where both man and horse have been caught up in the chaos of war. The expression on the gunner's face is one of sorrow and regret, as he must bid farewell to his faithful friend who has been killed in action.
This sentimental and moving portrayal reminds us of the sacrifices made by not only soldiers but also their animal companions during times of conflict. It serves as a powerful reminder of the human-animal bond and how it transcends even in moments of tragedy.
"Goodbye, Old Man" is a piece of history that evokes strong emotions and pays tribute to those who fought bravely alongside their four-legged comrades during one of the darkest chapters in our past.
