EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a pivotal moment in history as the Duke of Wellington reorganizes his central defence during the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. The loss of La Haye Sainte has forced Wellington to shift his strategy and strengthen his position against the advancing French forces. As he meets with his British officers and commanders, they discuss their next moves in order to secure victory.
Meanwhile, on another front, the Prussians have regained control of Plancenoit, putting additional pressure on Napoleon's troops. The French army begins to crumble under the combined assault from both sides, leading to a disorderly retreat as chaos ensues on the battlefield.
In this chaotic scene of war, wounded and dead soldiers lie scattered across the ground as Wellington and his men work tirelessly to maintain their defensive line. The events unfolding at 7pm on that fateful day mark a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars, ultimately leading to Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.
This powerful image serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice displayed by those who fought in one of history's most significant battles. Mary Evans' depiction captures not only the intensity of warfare but also the strategic prowess exhibited by Wellington in reorganizing his defences amidst chaos.
