EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour en grisaille, titled "The Devils Own," depicts the intense and pivotal moment during the Battle of Badajoz on April 5, 1812, during the Peninsular War (1808-1814). The scene portrays the 88th Connaught Rangers, a British infantry regiment, storming the walls of the fortified city of Badajoz in Spain. The title "The Devils Own" refers to the reputation of the 88th Regiment, which was known for its fearlessness and discipline, earning the nickname "The Devil's Own." The intricate details in this watercolour painting by R Caton Woodville, signed and dated 1908, bring the chaotic battle to life. The use of grisaille, a monochromatic technique using shades of grey, adds depth and texture to the image, while the addition of watercolour highlights the explosive artillery fire and the intense expressions on the soldiers' faces. The Battle of Badajoz was a significant turning point in the Peninsular War, as it marked the first major victory for the British and Portuguese forces against the French. The siege of the city lasted for several days, and the assault on the walls was particularly brutal, with hand-to-hand combat and heavy casualties on both sides. This historical artwork not only captures the bravery and determination of the soldiers involved but also serves as a reminder of the intense and brutal battles that shaped the course of European history during the Peninsular War.
