Painting Description
"Lieutenant-General Sir A.W. Currie 1875-1933 c.1918" is an oil-on-canvas portrait by the renowned British artist, Sir William Newenham Montague Orpen. The painting portrays Lieutenant-General Sir Arthur William Currie, a central figure in Canadian military history and the country's first full-time professional soldier. Painted around 1918, the work captures Currie's visage during the pivotal period of World War I.
Sir Orpen, a leading portrait painter of the time, was known for his insightfulictions of military and political figures. He represented the subject in a full-length pose, decked in military regalia — an approach typical of Orpen to underline their status and authority. Using his distinctive impressionistic style with bold brushworks and rich colors, he adeptly captured the weight of responsibility and strain of wartime on Currie's face, offering a subtle glimpse into his personality and the historical era he lived in.
Though specifics about the painting's commissioning and initial display are scant, it has cemented its place in the annals of wartime art history, serving as an evocative testament to the experiences of its subject and its creator during the Great War. The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada, accentuating Currie's significant contribution to his nation's war efforts and the enduring recognition of Orpen's artistic prowess.
