The House of Commons is the custodian of an important collection of art and artifacts reflecting Canada's social and political history. Many of these works are displayed throughout Parliament, including its committee rooms. This painting, Ghosts of Vimy Ridge, is currently on loan to the new Canadian War Museum, but its permanent home is the Centre Block's historic Railway Committee Room. Portraying the flickering spirits of departed Canadian soldiers making their way toward the summit of the ridge, it was painted in 1929 by Australian artist William Longstaff and purchased by Captain John Dewar, who donated it to Parliament in 1931. 1, record 1, English, - Ghosts%20of%20Vimy%20Ridge

La Chambre des communes est le gardien d'une importante collection d'œuvres d'art et d'artefacts témoignant de l'histoire politique et sociale du Canada. Bon nombre de ces œuvres sont exposées dans différents édifices du Parlement dont les salles de comité. Le domicile permanent de cette toile, Les revenants de la crête de Vimy, est la salle historique du Comité des Chemins de fer de l'édifice du Centre. La peinture est actuellement prêtée au nouveau Musée canadien de la guerre. Représentant les esprits vacillants des soldats canadiens se frayant un chemin jusqu'au sommet de la crête de Vimy, le tableau a été réalisé en 1929 par l'artiste australien, William Longstaff, et acheté par le capitaine John Dewar, qui en a fait don au Parlement en 1931. 1, record 1, French, - Les%20revenants%20de%20la%20cr%C3%AAte%20de%20Vimy
