EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of Wellington and his officers from a Berlin gold-ground slender campana vase. Created in the 19th century by Frederick Christian Lewis, this ceramic masterpiece depicts a scene from the Battle of Vittoria in 1813. The intricate engraving captures the intensity and bravery of these military figures as they confront each other on the battlefield. The slim form of the vase adds elegance to its overall design, while the gold-ground background enhances its regal appearance. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the depiction of human build and physique to the portrayal of military rank and position. The use of animal skin for clothing further emphasizes their role as fighters, representing strength and resilience. This piece serves not only as an exquisite example of kitchenware but also as a historical artifact that commemorates significant events during Wellington's time. Displayed on a plinth that belongs to Wellington service type, this print offers viewers a glimpse into European history during early 19th century conflict. It is truly fascinating how art can capture moments frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate both beauty and strife simultaneously. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection available for public viewing. Its presence reminds us not only of our past but also encourages us to reflect on our present circumstances with gratitude for those who have fought before us.
