About the Artist: Jonas came to prominence during the First World War as one of the greatest and most prolific of war artists. Many of his drawings and paintings of the war were published in the weekly Parisian newspaper, Illustration, perhaps the most widely read newspaper in France. He also became known for his striking portraits of officers and soldiers, and after the war he illustrated a three-volume history of the Great War titled The War as Told by Our Generals.
