Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, a prominent figure in the Napoleonic Wars, is immortalized through various artistic depictions and memorials. The Royal Anchor in Liphook, Hampshire, serves as a reminder of his legacy. In 1815, at the historic Battle of Waterloo, he met with Wellington to form an alliance that would change history forever. This meeting is vividly portrayed in artworks such as "Meeting of Wellington and Blücher at Waterloo" and "The Meeting of Wellington and Blucher. " As one of the coalition military commanders during this tumultuous period, Blücher fought alongside other notable figures like Fabian Gottlieb von der Osten-Sacken and Matvei Platov. Blücher's heroism on the battlefield is captured in engravings like "The Heroic Blucher in battle, " showcasing his bravery during intense conflicts. His contributions were commemorated through medals such as the one honoring him and Wellington at Waterloo. One particularly striking image depicts Prince Blucher under his horse during the charge by French cavalry at Waterloo. Engraved by M. Dubourg in 1819, it showcases both his vulnerability and resilience amidst chaos. Blücher's significance extends beyond artwork; Berlin pays tribute to him with a memorial dedicated to his memory. This chromolitho representation stands as a testament to his impact on German history.
