The Menin road was created in 1919. The medium is oil on canvas. The structure of the painting measures 1828 x 3175 mm and the frame is 2160 x 3515 x 75 mm. The painting is kept in the Imperial War Museum in London. Nash captures a War battlefield with puddles, trenches, dead trees, bombs and shrapnel everywhere. This action is all placed under a bleak sky. The two soldiers in the centre of the painting are making their way through no-mans land to their inevitable demise. All life is either gone or meaningless in this piece, adding to the sadness and sorrow feeling created by Nash. Another feeling that I personally picked out of this painting is that it felt almost dreamlike and certainly is a piece that follows the surrealism movement. This can be felt when looking into the background at the either clouds or mountains and also the large light beams which can paint a picture of heaven in the viewers mind.
