During World War II, Bacon was not conscripted into the regular army due to chronic asthma, but volunteered for civil defense units. However, his health deteriorated, and in 1942 he left the service and rented a cottage in the Hampshire countryside with Eric Hall. There, Bacon continued to paint, but no paintings of the period have survived.In 1944, Bacon created the triptych "Three Studies to the figures at the foot of the Crucifixion". The paintings depict three anthropomorphic creatures on a bright orange background in a rough, garish manner. The figures were based on furies-mythical creatures, characters of Aeschylus 'tetralogy " Oresteia".
