Giulio Aristide Sartorio produced this series of landscape studies while serving on the Italian front during World War I. He was commissioned by the Italian military to document the front lines, and he famously continued to sketch and paint even while under fire. He was later wounded and taken as a prisoner of war, making these works rare and poignant historical documents of the Italian Alpine theater.
