EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, in all his glory. Painted around 1820 by an unknown artist after Sir Thomas Lawrence, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed at the National Army Museum in London. In this half-length portrait, Wellington stands tall and proud, donning civilian attire while proudly displaying the prestigious Badge of the Golden Fleece. The artist skillfully captures his commanding presence and distinguished features. Wellington's illustrious military career began in 1787 when he was commissioned into service. He gained significant experience during the Wars of the French Revolution and later achieved great success leading campaigns in India, including the 2nd Maratha War. In 1809, Wellington assumed command of Allied armies in Portugal and Spain, where he fought tirelessly for five years before taking the war to France itself in 1814. His remarkable leadership culminated with a decisive victory over Napoleon at the historic Battle of Waterloo on June 18th, 1815. Following his military triumphs, Wellington transitioned into politics and served as Prime Minister from 1826 to 1830. This esteemed figure played a pivotal role not only on the battlefield but also within British governance. The print immortalizes one of history's most celebrated figures—a true symbol of bravery and strategic brilliance that forever changed Europe's destiny.
