This bright, almost apocalyptic glow at the center is surrounded by a darker landscape, which could represent the surrounding terrain or the looming uncertainty of war. The sky above, streaked with darker patches and lighter scratches, echos the turmoil happening below.The use of color and texture in Czölder's painting effectively conveys the emotional and physical devastation of war, focused on a specific scene but reflective of the universal tragedy of conflict.
