EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolor painting, titled "Wellington's Last Procession, K020718," captures the solemn and grandiose atmosphere of the official state occasion held in honor of the late Duke of Wellington at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, following his death at Walmer Castle in Kent in September 1852. The Duke of Wellington, a British military and political leader who rose to prominence as the victor of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, was a national hero and a beloved figure in British history. His passing was mourned by the people of Britain, and the government saw fit to honor him with a state funeral. The painting depicts the massed ranks of soldiers and well-wishers lining the route of the cortege as it made its way from Walmer Castle to St. Paul's Cathedral. The soldiers, dressed in their finest uniforms, stand at attention, their faces expressionless and solemn. The crowd, a sea of umbrellas and top hats, gazes on in quiet reverence. The cortege itself is a sight to behold, with the Duke's coffin borne aloft on a gun carriage, drawn by six black horses. The pallbearers, dressed in white gloves and black mourning attire, walk solemnly behind, their faces set in grim determination. The painting is a poignant reminder of the Duke of Wellington's significance in British history and the deep sense of loss felt by the nation at his passing. It is a testament to the power of tradition and the enduring respect and admiration the British people held for their hero.
