"The Treaty of Versailles, 1919" is a series of paintings by Sir William Newenham Montague Orpen, an Irish artist renowned for his work as an official war artist during World War I. Created in the aftermath of the Great War, Orpen's series captures the historic moments and key figures involved in the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers.

Orpen was commissioned to create the works to document the peace conference for the Imperial War Museum. The series includes several notable pieces, such as "A Peace Conference at the Quai d'Orsay," "The Signing of Peace in the Hall of Mirrors," and portraits of various delegates. His paintings are characterized by their realistic portrayal of the events and individuals, with a focus on the somber and reflective mood that surrounded the peace negotiations.

The most famous of the series, "The Signing of Peace in the Hall of Mirrors," depicts the central moment of the signing ceremony in the opulent Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. However, Orpen grew disillusioned with the political machinations and the perceived injustices of the treaty terms. This led to a controversial decision to paint two irreverent works, "To the Unknown British Soldier in France" and its altered version, which were initially rejected by the British government and the Imperial War Museum.

Orpen's Treaty of Versailles series is considered an important historical record of the peace conference, providing insight into the political atmosphere of the time. The paintings are held in various collections, including the Imperial War Museum in London, and continue to be the subject of historical and artistic study for their portrayal of one of the 20th century's most significant events.
