EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the interior view of the principal staircase at Apsley House in London, home to the 1st Duke of Wellington. The focal point of the image is the magnificent statue of Napoleon Bonaparte as Mars the Peacemaker, created by the renowned Italian sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822). Commissioned directly by Napoleon himself, the statue was originally intended as a symbol of his military victories and imperial power. However, after Napoleon's downfall in 1815, the statue was presented to the Duke of Wellington by the Prince Regent, later King George IV, as a token of appreciation for his role in defeating the French emperor. The statue, which stands at over two meters tall, depicts Napoleon in the guise of the Roman god Mars, holding a figure of Victory aloft. The intricate details of Canova's masterpiece are beautifully captured in this photograph, making it a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Apsley House and its unique collection of art and artifacts.
