About this work

This etching depicts a skeletal death figure in a shrouded cloak riding a cart across a churned, desolate landscape lit by a pale glow, with a hourglass and scythe in the foreground. A ruined Gothic church arch and scattered skulls appear at right, while leafless trees and dark, scribbled clouds fill the upper half. The Scourge of War (Ypres) by Jules De Bruycker, printed in 1917, presents the war as a stark allegory of death.
