EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white lithograph created by Joseph Pennell. This powerful image transports us back to the early 20th century, immersing us in the heart of the armaments industry. The print showcases an imposing munitions factory, standing tall like a basilica dedicated to warfare. Pennell's meticulous attention to detail brings this industrial scene to life. The lithotint technique used adds depth and texture, enhancing the gritty atmosphere of the interior space. In the background, we catch glimpses of workers going about their tasks amidst towering machinery and stacks of weaponry. This artwork serves as a reminder of how war has shaped our history and influenced art during that era. It reflects on both the destructive power of weapons and their significance in shaping nations' destinies. Through his skillful rendering, Pennell prompts us to contemplate not only the physicality but also the concept behind these instruments of war. "The Basilica of War" now resides in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, where it continues to captivate visitors with its evocative portrayal. As we gaze upon this print today, let us remember those who labored within these factories and reflect on how far we have come since then – striving for peace while cherishing our heritage through art.
