The Shield of Achilles by Rundell Bridge, 1822

This silver-gilt shield was inspired by the one made for Achilles by Hephaestus in the Iliad, and sees Apollo in the centre surrounded by stars and female figures representing the constellations with scenes from human life encircling these.

“Battle of Britain Day”

15 September 1940 was a turning point in the Second World War. This was the day on which Hitler was left in no doubt that his Luftwaffe not only had failed to achieve the decisive air superiority over the Royal Air Force that he needed to mount a cross-Channel invasion of Britain - but was coming off worst in the conflict.

This painting by official Australian war artist Sergeant George Browning, who served in New Guinea, dramatically conveys the difficulties that Australian regulars and militia (not to mention their Japanese enemy) had in trying to maneuver through the steep, steamy, disease-ridden jungles of New Guinea and along the Kokoda Trail, deemed by many as one of the worst environments of the entire war.
