EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Colonel Thomas Wildman, a notable figure in British history during the Napoleonic Wars. Painted by James Lonsdale, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 125.7x100.3 cm and is housed at Nottingham City Museums and Galleries in Newstead Abbey. Colonel Thomas Wildman (1787-1859) played a significant role in preserving the ancestral home of renowned poet Lord Byron. In 1818, he purchased and restored Newstead Abbey to its former glory. This painting immortalizes him as an esteemed military officer, donning his dress uniform with pride. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the braided cords adorning his jacket to the meticulously groomed moustache that adds character to his face. The ceremonial bearskin hat atop his head signifies his rank and dedication to duty. The artist expertly captures Colonel Wildman's commanding presence against a serene sky backdrop, emphasizing both strength and elegance. The gold accents throughout the painting add an ornate touch that reflects the grandeur of this historical figure. This portrait not only pays tribute to Colonel Thomas Wildman but also serves as a reminder of England's rich military heritage during one of its most tumultuous periods - the Peninsular War. It stands as a testament to bravery, patriotism, and unwavering commitment displayed by individuals like Colonel Wildman who shaped British history through their actions on and off the battlefield.
