Study of a Wounded Soldier 1895 - 1896

Jozef Hanula's "Study of a Wounded Soldier" from 1895-1896 depicts a fallen soldier in a field of green grass. The soldier is dressed in red and armored, with a helmet covering his head, and his eyes are closed. Hanula's realistic style and attention to detail create a powerful image that evokes sympathy and reflection on the human cost of war. The painting's somber mood is amplified by the soldier's limp posture and the subdued palette of colors.
