For the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two, French painter Christian Poirot has created a stunning painting to commemorate the Nanjing Massacre, which he will donate to the Nanjing Memorial Hall in December.
The Nanjing Massacre, more commonly referred as “The Rape of Nanking” in western countries, was a six-week long massacre starting from December 13, 1937, when an estimated 300,000 Chinese civilians were killed by the invading Japanese army.
Titled “Deliverance”, the painting depicts scenes of the violence that presents viewers with a visceral ordeal of the victims.
