Dood als vredesstichter 1920 - 1935

"Dood als vredesstichter" (Death as Peacemaker) is a powerful drawing by Dutch artist Patricq Kroon, created between 1920 and 1935. The artwork depicts a human skull in a military uniform, its red eyes staring directly at the viewer. The skull wears a sash decorated with crossed bones, further emphasizing the theme of death and its association with war. Kroon's stark and graphic style, combined with the chilling subject matter, conveys a message about the devastating consequences of conflict. This artwork, created in the aftermath of World War I, serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors of war and the enduring impact it has on humanity.
