The artwork

This historic image captures an emblematic moment shortly before one of the most significant events of the Second World War: the Normandy landings, better known as D-Day. In the photo we see General Sir Bernard Montgomery, one of the key figures of the war, posing for a civilian photographer during an inspection of the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Ulster Rifles near Portsmouth. The scene portrays a moment of calm before the turmoil of military operations, with the general in official uniform, his face serene and resolute, while the photographer uses a period camera covered with a dark cloth to keep out the light. This portrait bears witness not only to the importance of military leadership in those crucial days, but also to the role of photography as a means of immortalising the protagonists and moments of history.
