The Nuremberg Trial is a 1946 oil painting by the British artist Laura Knight. [1] Knight attended the Nuremberg trials of Nazi German war criminals. She chose to juxtapose it with the bombed-out ruins of a German city. The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition of 1946 at Burlington House, the first to be held since the end of the war. It was one of the most discussed artworks of the exhibition. [2] Today it is in the collection of the Imperial War Museum. [3]
