In this clip from War Art with Eddie Redmayne, the actor and art enthusiast looks at the work of John Singer Sargent, particularly his painting titled 'Gassed'.
Eddie feels the emotional impact of the painting which depicts the aftermath of a mustard gas attack during the First World War. He compares Sargent's own personal experience of war compared to his piers such as Paul Nash and how a trip to the frontline and the human suffering behind the firing line inspired the war painting.
