Black crows perch on the pile and circle in the pale blue sky, and bare, leafless trees stand at left. Single skulls lie scattered across the ground, and low mountains and the walls of a distant city lie along the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVereshchagin painted it in 1871 while living in Munich, as part of his Turkestan series drawn from his service with the Russian army in Central Asia. It shows a pile of skulls outside the walls of a city, and its frame is said to carry a dedication to all great conquerors, past, present and to come. Its anti-war reading drew controversy; it now hangs in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVasily Vereshchagin (1842–1904) was a Russian painter, war artist and traveller, born in Cherepovets. After naval school he trained at the Imperial Academy of Arts and in Paris under Jean-Léon Gérôme. He accompanied the Russian campaign in Turkestan from 1867, fought at the siege of Samarkand, and later travelled in India, the Himalayas, Syria and Palestine. His war paintings, meant to show the horrors of war, include The Apotheosis of War, withheld from his 1874 exhibition in Saint Petersburg. He served in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 and died in 1904 when the battleship Petropavlovsk sank off Port Arthur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
