Description

Relentless is a remarkable oil painting of a border skirmish between Imperial Army personnel in snowtrooper gear and local smugglers (not pictured). The colonel, standing fearless and motioning forward, led his brigade in a counterattack against smugglers who were contesting Imperial control of the outpost. It is believed to have been painted by a stormtrooper who had taken part in a number of skirmishes with pirates and smugglers on the ice worlds of the Corporate Sector. Experts believe that the paints used in this piece originated from the Meridian Sector, and they estimate that the painting was completed in Year 7. After passing hands between numerous Imperial officers in Corporate, it was bought by a private firm on behalf of a private collector. It is one of twelve pieces of the Viciar Collection, owned by Crueya Vandron, lent to and on display at the Imperial Gallery.
