The War Paintings in the Senate Chamber - Les tableaux de guerre de la Chambre du Sénat, An English/French Publication by The Canadian War Museum, was published by the Canadian War Museum and the Senate of Canada to mark the restoration and rededication of eight monumental First World War oil paintings displayed in the Upper Chamber.

Originally commissioned by Lord Beaverbrook for the Canadian War Memorials Fund and installed in Parliament's Centre Block in 1921, these massive canvases depict pivotal battles, military operations, and wartime sacrifices made by Canadian forces. The publication outlines the historical context behind the creation of the artworks, provides descriptive commentary on each individual painting and its artist, and documents the intricate on-site conservation and cleaning project undertaken to preserve these national treasures for future generations.
