An avid painter, Churchill completed more than 500 paintings throughout his life—but only one during the course of World War II. He created a scene from Marrakesh, Morocco—“The Tower of Koutoubia Mosque”—as a gift for President Franklin D. Roosevelt shortly after the 1943 Casablanca Conference. (Photo courtesy of M.S.
