Theme: Patriotic Duty Artist: Will DYSON Birth/Death: 1880–1938 Title: Wine of victory (German prisoners captured at Ypres) Credit Line: Gift of the Australian War Memorial 1989 One of Will Dyson's most powerful anti-war images, the lithograph Wine of victory (German prisoners captured at Ypres) depicts three heavily-wounded German prisoners. Blinded, maimed and exhausted, the three prisoners lean upon each other, their injuries testament to the evils of war. Wine of victory (German prisoners captured at Ypres) is a compassionate image of the enemy, and an affirmation of common humanity in suffering. More details Click image to enlarge
