Paul Nash painted this watercolor in 1917. It shows a First World War battlefield scene near St Eloi, Ypres Salient. The army used it to pick him as an Official War Artist. The museum says Nash’s style had a strange, dream-like mood. They link it to artists like William Blake and Samuel Palmer. Look next at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
