EDITORS COMMENTS
Unconquerable: A Personification of Defiant Belgium by Arthur Rackham - August 1914 Amidst the carnage and chaos of the First World War, as the invading German army marched across Europe, a small nation stood defiant. This poignant image, titled "Unconquerable" by renowned English illustrator Arthur Rackham, captures the indomitable spirit of Belgium in the face of adversity. The illustration portrays a personification of Belgium as a brave and determined figure, standing tall amidst the devastation of war. The tattered remains of the Belgian flag, battered and torn, are held aloft in one hand, symbolizing the resilience and unwavering patriotism of the Belgian people. The landscape behind is a war-torn wasteland, a testament to the devastation wrought by the conflict. The year was 1914, and the world was embroiled in the Great War. Belgium, a neutral nation, found itself under attack, and its people were left to face the horrors of war with courage and defiance. This powerful symbol of resistance served as a rallying cry for the Belgian people and a reminder of their unwavering patriotism in the face of overwhelming odds. Arthur Rackham's "Unconquerable" is a poignant and enduring reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure even in the darkest of times. This historical masterpiece continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the strength and determination that lies within us all.
