For the first half of the twentieth century, the artist Fortunino
Matania captured some of the world's most memorable and iconic
moments. From the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 to the coronations
of three British monarchs, this Italian-born illustrator recorded
almost every major event as 'special artist' for popular
illustrated magazine The Sphere. The apogee of his prolific output
was during the First World War when he produced paintings on a
weekly basis, recording in breathtakingly realistic detail the
multifaceted nature of the conflict and often visiting the front in
order to gather material for his pictures. The breadth and quality
of Matania's work takes in scenes of trench life, the war at sea,
the heat of battle and the war effort at home. Meanwhile, his most
famous picture, 'Goodbye, Old Man', quickly became one of the most
emotive images of the war. Admired by some of the finest artists of
the period, and familiar to millions around the world, over 100 of
Matania's pictures are brought together for the first time in this
compilation, introducing the power of his work to a new generation
to mark the centenary of the First World War
