EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative circular painting by Malcolm Greensmith captures the indomitable spirit of the British people during the Blitz on London in World War II. At the heart of the scene, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth inspect the devastating bomb damage to the city's streets. Amidst the rubble, a mother comforts her evacuee child as they are greeted with a kindly kiss from a local resident. In the background, members of the Home Guard serve tea and offer a moment of respite to weary civilians. The painting's central figure, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, stands defiantly, puffing on his signature large cigar. Surrounded by the chaos of the Blitz, Churchill's unwavering resolve and determination are palpable. The iconic image of Churchill, with his famous quote "We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender," comes to life in this powerful depiction. The painting also includes other poignant details, such as a lone ARP (Air Raid Precautions) warden sounding the alert, a barrage balloon looming in the sky, and a lone soldier taking a moment to smoke a cigarette amidst the destruction. Greensmith's masterful use of color and detail brings history to life, offering a poignant reminder of the resilience and fortitude of the British people during one of their darkest hours.
