More about this artwork

The painting "The Sands of Time" (1904) by John Samuel Pughe offers a compelling visual commentary that traverses the domains of mythology and international politics. At first glance, the figure depicted draws upon the Roman god of war, Mars, symbolizing aggression and military might. The warrior's helmet is inscribed with his name, enhancing the allegorical nature of the character.In this thought-provoking piece, Mars is shown intently gazing at an hourglass where the sands that pass between the upper and lower bulbs mark "Peace" at the top and "War" at the bottom. This stark contrast between peace and war encapsulates the relentless and cyclical nature of human conflicts. Mars rests his arms upon an open book with a map, pointing towards the key geopolitical players of the era, Korea and Japan, which hint at the historical context likely related to the tensions surrounding the Russo-Japanese War era.Through "The Sands of Time," Pughe artfully captures the incessant oscillation between peace and conflict, a timeless notion reflected through the finite passage of sand.
