Austro-Hungarian artillerymen check and adjust the pressure in the hydro-pneumatic recoil system of a 15 cm Heavy Field Howitzer M.14. Photo is probably from the area between Brody and Dubno in E. Galicia.

I do see the general aesthetic of that design as "Megatron," though.

It's very old-timey industrial/WWI-like; it's simple cuz he's old. It's gives off this vibe of an an elderly war general hungry to battle and conquer, which perfectly describes Megatron.

WWIに従軍して、戦場の兵士たちの絵を描いた画家。Map-readingって題の絵、ちょっとブレイクを思わせるかも😢

Blues, greens & reds became really important to him & he was now painting confidently in his own signature style. Village (1913), The Soldier (c1914), Return of the Prodigal Son (1914) & Hexenritt (1916). Images of good & evil marked WWI
