World War One paintings / prints

[Max (UK)]

Hello all

I've been scouring the net looking for sites that sell full colour art prints of paintings, depicting World War One battles. I'm not having much luck !

Can anyone please recommend any sites that sell good, atmospheric colour painting prints?

I quite like a painting called "Over The Top" which is almost cartoon-like painting style of British soldiers going over the top, but can't find anywhere that sells it (and now can't remember the artist either - doh !!)

Help please! There's a space on my wall for a couple of good World War One battle prints.

Thanks.

Hi Max,

The painting you refer to was painted by John Nash and is available from the Tate Gallery online in a variety of different sizes.

Hope that helps.

Sir Alfred Munnings - Horse Painter Nov 2005

Alfred John Munnings(1878-1959) achieved renown as one of England's finest painters of horses. During the First World War his engagement by Lord Beaverbrook's Canadian War Memorials Fund led to a series of prestigious post-war commissions that made him a wealthy man. This website segment contains a very nice selection of unique oil painting of horses, working horses and calvary officers.
