EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print, titled "Tribute to Harry Patch at Carrefour, Langemarck," is a poignant tribute to the last surviving British soldier to have fought in the horrors of World War I. Painted by Moorslede artist Philip Cardoen in 2016, this artwork is part of a series of 60 pictures planned to form "The Western Front Painting Tour." The image captures the moment when Harry Patch, who passed away in 2009 at the age of 111, paid his respects to the fallen soldiers at Carrefour, a crossroads near Langemarck, Belgium. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Ypres-Ieper Salient, a region notorious for its brutal battles during World War I. The haunting landscape, with its desolate trees and muddy terrain, serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of the war. In the foreground, we see Harry Patch, dressed in a suit and hat, standing solemnly before a simple wooden cross, his face etched with the weight of history and the passage of time. Philip Cardoen's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the moment make this print a powerful and moving tribute to Harry Patch and the millions of soldiers who lost their lives during the First World War. The artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in the war and the enduring impact it had on the world.
