The Imperial War Museum have shared this remarkable collection of iconic World War One art, showing the creative process from sketch to final painting.
The world is marking the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of The Great War this week. Alongside the bloodshed recorded through photography, many artists were commissioned to paint scenes of warfare, creating raw and vivid depictions of the conflict.
The Imperial War Museum have shared some striking artworks with BuzzFeed UK.
