The Cemetery, Étaples (1919) by Sir John Lavery — Collector’s Edition Irish Master Art Print

Experience the quiet power of remembrance through Sir John Lavery’s The Cemetery, Étaples (1919) — one of the most moving works of post-war Irish art. Painted after the First World War, it captures the vast stillness of Étaples Military Cemetery in northern France, final resting place of over 11,000 Commonwealth soldiers.

A Masterpiece of Irish Remembrance

Serving as an official British War Artist, Lavery transformed a landscape of grief into a powerful vision of grace and collective mourning. The composition unfolds across three planes: pale wooden crosses in the foreground, two women tending the graves in the middle distance, and a distant horizon where a steam train moves silently across the sky — symbolising the persistence of life in the wake of profound loss.

Symbolism and Artistic Legacy

Lavery’s muted palette of ochres, greens and greys evokes the gentle light of early dawn. The figures are not mourners, but caretakers — guardians of memory. This painting stands as a timeless elegy to sacrifice, compassion and the enduring impact of war on the Irish and British experience.
