Artillery

"Artillery" is a compelling oil on canvas painting by French artist Roger de La Fresnaye, created in 1911. As a notable example of genre painting, it vividly captures a military scene featuring French soldiers, artillerymen, a French officer, and a field gun under tow. The composition demonstrates early explorations of Cubism, emphasizing geometric forms and multiple perspectives. The work, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, reflects both contemporary military life and innovative artistic techniques.
