EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures the likeness of William II, King of Holland and Prince of Orange (1792-1849), painted by the renowned American artist John Singleton Copley around 1813. The portrait was completed during a pivotal moment in William's military career, as he served as an aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington during the Peninsular War from 1811-1813. After the successful conclusion of the Peninsular War, William returned to the Netherlands and was appointed Crown Prince in 1815. In the same year, he took command of the Dutch-Belgian contingent of 30,000 troops in the Battle of Waterloo. William's military experience was put to the test as he commanded the allies alongside Wellington, leading I Corps at the Battle of Waterloo. Despite his bravery and energy on the battlefield, William's tactical decisions were criticized for resulting in many casualties. Wellington attributed these misjudgments to a lack of command experience. The portrait beautifully encapsulates the intensity and determination of William II during this significant period in his life, as he navigated the complexities of military strategy and political power. This portrait is now part of the collection at Apsley House in London, a historic home that was once the residence of the Duke of Wellington. The painting provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these historical figures and the events that shaped European history during the early 19th century.
