Oorlog en liefde #5

A quietly tense mood permeates this 2011 Casterman album from Beuriot & Richelle, the fifth chapter of Oorlog en Liefde subtitled Het Verzet ("The Resistance"). The cover draws the eye to a young woman standing beside a period grey automobile on a rural road, the pale sky and modest farmhouse behind her suggesting an occupied countryside holding its breath. It's an evocative, understated image — elegant in its restraint, and a fitting visual promise for a series that weaves wartime drama with deeply human emotion.
