EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the "Capture of Toulouse, France" on 10th April 1814. Painted by T Fielding in 1819, it showcases the aftermath of a significant battle that took place after Napoleon's surrender and abdication to the Sixth Coalition. At this time, news had not yet reached the South of France about these events. The image depicts an army led by Arthur Wellesley, also known as the Duke of Wellington, entering through a grand gate into Toulouse. The vibrant colors bring to life this pivotal moment in history when British forces under Wellington's command triumphantly secured victory over French troops. Mounted on horseback, Wellington is seen at the forefront alongside his fellow soldiers who fought valiantly during this Napoleonic War campaign. The presence of both men and women signifies how war impacted all aspects of society during this era. Toulouse itself serves as a backdrop for this scene—a city welcoming its liberators with open arms. The artist skillfully portrays every detail from iron gates to architectural elements that add depth and realism to the artwork. This remarkable print from "The Victories of the Duke of Wellington" collection offers viewers a glimpse into one chapter among many in Britain's military history. It reminds us not only of past conflicts but also honors those who fought bravely for their country under Wellington's leadership.
