EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Battle of Busaco, which took place in Portugal on 27th September 1810. Painted by T Fielding and featured in "The Victories of the Duke of Wellington" publication from 1819, this artwork showcases the intense clash between British and Portuguese troops led by Wellington against the French forces commanded by Massena during the Napoleonic Wars. In this vivid depiction, we witness a momentous charge as brave soldiers armed with bayonets engage in fierce combat on the battlefield. The artist's use of color brings to life the chaos and intensity of war, highlighting both the heroism and sacrifice exhibited by these men. The significance of this battle cannot be understated; it marked a crucial turning point in history as Wellington's forces successfully repulsed their French adversaries. Lord Wellington himself became an iconic figure known as "the Iron Duke" revered for his strategic brilliance and military triumphs. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving by Thales Fielding, we are transported back to that tumultuous era where nations clashed for supremacy. It serves as a powerful reminder of valor displayed amidst adversity and pays homage to all those who fought bravely for their country.
