Dix, Otto. "Flanders" (1934-36)
In 1934-36 Dix, a participant in the First World War, will paint the picture "Flanders" based on the novel "Fire" by Henri Barbusse. Barbusse is a French writer who fought in the First World War on the other side (also a volunteer, and also wounded, award crosses, etc.). After coming from the front, he wrote an anti-war novel "Fire". There is an episode there, how in Flanders heavy rain caused a flood that flooded the trenches of both the French and the Germans.
"All night they floundered in the water in their trenches, which turned into rivers and lakes. Many drowned, clinging to the creeping earth. And at some point they were not up to the war. At dawn, the survivors of the flood looked the same from both sides - up to their ears in mud, soaked, barely alive, among the corpses floating in the trenches."

St. George Hare. "Triumph of Faith." 1891.
Irish artist St. George Hare depicts two Christian women on the night before their execution.
They are waiting for the traditional massacre of the early Christians in ancient Rome: being mauled by lions (the lions are behind the bars in the upper left corner of the painting).
Presumably the bound white woman is the mistress of a dark-skinned ethiopian woman who followed her mistress to her execution for faith and love. The nudity in the painting was intended by the artist to be a symbol of the material deprivation of Christian martyrs.
