The Eleventh Hour, the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month, 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by W. Percy Day that beautifully captures a moment of profound significance in history. The artwork depicts a scene filled with emotions and symbolism. In this poignant image, we see a weary mother sitting beside her sleeping baby, cradling it gently in her arms. The room is dimly lit, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and relief. A letter lies on the table nearby, perhaps containing news from a loved one who has been away at war. The painting represents the end of World War I and the signing of the armistice on November 11th, 1918 – hence its title. It serves as a powerful reminder of the immense sacrifices made during those tumultuous years and celebrates the long-awaited arrival of peace. Day's masterful brushstrokes bring to life every detail: from the softness of the baby's features to the weariness etched onto its mother's face. The artist skillfully conveys both exhaustion and hope through his use of light and shadow. Displayed at Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK, this remarkable piece continues to evoke strong emotions even after more than a century since its creation. It stands as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity while reminding us never to take peace for granted. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate "The Eleventh Hour" up close and cherish its historical significance forever
