EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour painting, titled "Occupation of Paris, 1815 - Place Louis 15th: Paris Sept: 1815," captures a significant moment in European history. Painted by Major William Loftie of the 55th (The Westmoreland) Regiment of Foot, the image portrays the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, which took place on July 18, 1815. The painting depicts military leaders, including the Duke of Wellington, the Emperor of Austria, the Tsar, and Louis XVIII of France, traveling in a coach through Place Louis 15th (now known as Place de la Concorde) in Paris. The allied soldiers in various uniforms can be seen in the background, adding to the bustling scene. The Occupation of Paris, which lasted from July to November 1815, followed the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte in the Battle of Waterloo. During this time, the city was under the control of the allied forces, led by the Duke of Wellington and the Emperor of Austria. The place was renamed Place de la Revolution during the French Revolution, but during the Bourbon restoration of 1815-30, the name Place Louis XV was revived. This watercolour painting provides a unique glimpse into the historical moment when European powers came together to restore order in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). The intricate details of the uniforms, the expressions on the faces of the leaders, and the lively energy of the scene make this a captivating work of art that transports us back in time.
