Review in Windsor Great Park of the troops from the Ashanti war, 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the review of British troops returning victorious from the Ashanti war. Painted by G Durand and featured in "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria" this artwork captures the essence of colonialism and imperialism during the late Victorian era. Intriguingly, we witness Queen Victoria herself observing with pride as her army marches past her carriage. The soldiers, adorned in their hussar uniforms, ride on majestic horses while proudly carrying flags that symbolize their triumph over resistance in what is now Ghana. Windsor Great Park serves as a picturesque backdrop for this military spectacle. Its serene landscape contrasts with the intensity of warfare depicted here. As we delve into this image further, it becomes evident that it represents not only a celebration of victory but also an assertion of British power and dominance over conquered territories. Through this print, G Durand transports us to a time when Britain's empire stretched far beyond its shores. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by both men and animals during times of conflict. Moreover, it offers insight into how art can immortalize historical events while shedding light on complex concepts such as nationalism and sovereignty. Overall, this remarkable piece invites contemplation about our shared human history - one marked by conquests, struggles for independence, and ultimately shaping our present-day world.
