EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment in history, frozen in time on canvas. Painted by George Jones in 1816, this oil masterpiece depicts Napoleon Bonaparte giving his final orders as he retreats from the battlefield. The scene is filled with tension and chaos, as the British Army advances behind him and Prussian forces emerge on the left. In the center of the painting, a fierce clash unfolds between Life Guards and Cuirassiers. To Napoleon's right, French troops are engulfed in confusion and flight. Meanwhile, two columns of English Hussars relentlessly pursue and attack their fleeing enemies. The artist skillfully portrays not only the intensity of battle but also captures elements of landscape and wildlife amidst this historical event. The horses play a significant role in conveying both power and vulnerability as they carry soldiers into war. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of one man's ambition that shaped an era. It encapsulates the magnitude of warfare during Napoleonic times while showcasing Jones' mastery in capturing movement, emotion, and detail. Displayed at Nottingham City Museums & Galleries (Nottingham Castle), this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in history through art. As we gaze upon this piece today, it serves as a testament to human resilience and reminds us never to forget those who fought bravely for their beliefs on that fateful day - June 18th, 1815: The Battle of Waterloo.
