Remembered Today:

Two Minutes Silence

This was painted in 1928 by Charles Spencelayh. I think it says it all.

It does Gareth. It is a subject that could easily be rendered trite or over melodramatic but that gets it spot on. I'd never heard of the artist so that is a few happy minutes looking for him in the extensive library. Thanks for posting.

I had not previously seen this picture, but found it so real and moving that I half expected the old boy to wipe away a tear and shuffle off slowly into the kitchen.

Thank you for posting this.

 

Regards,

JMB

Thanks also, it is a moving painting . It  reminds me very much, that not all remembrance need be public.
