EDITORS COMMENTS
This squared photograph was used by the renowned Belgian artist Frank Brangwyn as a study for his powerful and poignant painting, "Exodus." Created during the tumultuous 1910s and completed in 1918, the work depicts the harrowing experience of Belgian civilians fleeing their homes during the chaos of World War I. Brangwyn, who was born in Belgium, captured the desperation and determination of these refugees as they transported their belongings in carts, seeking safety and security in the face of the devastating conflict. The photograph serves as an essential reference point for understanding the artist's creative process and the emotional depth of this significant work. The image of civilians fleeing their homes during wartime is a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict and the enduring power of art to capture and preserve history.
