About 4,000 men from the 38th (Welsh) Division were killed or injured at Mametz Wood during the battle of the Somme. Welsh artist Christopher Williams travelled to the western front a few months after the battle in July 1916.
War's Hell brings together art, poetry and writing by those who witnessed the battle first hand, as well as others who responded to it. Senior curator Beth McIntyre said the exhibition was about "the human response to that battle". "He wanted to show the terrors of war, and I think that really comes out in the painting.
Williams was born in Maesteg in January 1873, the son of a grocer.
He was making his living as a portrait artist when he was commissioned to commemorate Mametz Wood by the Secretary of State for War David Lloyd George.
He had already notable commissions, including painting the Investiture of Edward, Prince of Wales - the future Edward VIII - at Caernarfon Castle in 1911.
