"The Trojan Horse" (1942) by Colin Middleton is a surrealist painting that fuses dreamlike imagery with haunting symbolism. A skeletal, mannequin-like figure stands rigidly in a cradle-like structure, evoking both a scarecrow and a puppet. Its twisted expression and tattered form suggest vulnerability and decay. In the foreground, a toy soldier rides a rocking horse, injecting a sense of eerie innocence. Against a barren, desolate landscape with crumbling ruins under a blood-tinged sky, the piece explores themes of lost childhood, war, and deception—echoing the myth of the Trojan Horse with a psychological twist.
