The Ypres Salient at Night is a 1918 watercolour by English artist Paul Nash, which was produced during World War I.

[1] Born in Kensington, London, England, in 1889, Paul Nash served in the Artists Rifles following the outbreak of World War I.

[3] He was sent to Flanders in February 1917, but was invalided back to London in May 1917, a few days before his unit was nearly obliterated at the Battle of Messines.

[7] It was painted in Nash's capacity as an officially commissioned war officer.

The salient vexed the British military, as they were averse to losing any ground in the area; Nash viewed the landscape as a "a monument to doggedness."
