The Statue at Mr. Wyatts Foundry
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back in time to the year 1846, offering a glimpse into the remarkable craftsmanship and grandeur of Victorian sculpture. In this engraving by Ebenezer Landells, we witness the monumental bronze statue of The Duke of Wellington being transported from Matthew Cotes Wyatt's studio to its destined location atop the iconic Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner. The image showcases an intricate web of machinery, hoists, and pulleys as workers carefully maneuver the colossal equestrian statue onto a carriage. The scaffold surrounding it emphasizes both its size and significance. This masterpiece was cast using bronze derived mainly from French cannon captured during the historic Battle of Waterloo. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, one cannot help but feel awestruck by the meticulous planning and execution required for such an endeavor. The departure from Wyatt's foundry at Dudley Grove House in London must have been met with great ceremony and anticipation. This print not only captures a significant milestone in British art history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity. It reminds us of our ability to transform raw materials into enduring works that stand tall as symbols of triumph and honor throughout generations.
