EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite bronze statuette of Prince Von Blucher, a remarkable military figure from the early 19th century. Created in 1824 by renowned sculptor Christian Daniel Rauch, this masterpiece now resides at Apsley House in London. The statuette immortalizes Prince Von Blucher, a Prussian general who played a pivotal role in the historic Battle of Waterloo. With meticulous attention to detail, Rauch skillfully captures the essence of this esteemed German leader. The statue exudes an air of strength and determination as it stands proudly on its pedestal. Every fold of his uniform and every crease on his face tells a story of courage and resilience. As we gaze upon this magnificent artwork, we are transported back to that fateful day when Wellington's forces joined with Blucher's Prussians to defeat Napoleon Bonaparte once and for all. This piece serves as a poignant reminder of their triumphant alliance and their unwavering commitment to freedom. Nigel Corrie's expert photography brings out the richness and depth of this historical artifact, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even more profoundly. Through his lens, he captures not only the physical attributes but also the spirit embodied within this statuette. In Nigel Corrie's photograph, we witness history come alive before our eyes – an enduring tribute to one man’s indomitable spirit amidst tumultuous times.
