't Vredejaar 1919

This poster, titled "'t Vredejaar" (The Peace Year) and created in 1919 by Bernard Willem Wierink, is a symbolic depiction of peace following World War I. The artwork features a silhouette of a Dutch church tower with a flag flying from its top, symbolizing national pride and hope. Surrounding the tower are dozens of doves, a traditional symbol of peace, soaring upwards, signifying the return of tranquility after the war. This piece, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, embodies a sense of optimism and celebration, capturing the spirit of the post-war era.
