EDITORS COMMENTS
Lieutenant-General Rowland, Lord Hill (1772-1842) is depicted in this stunning full-length portrait painted by George Dawe in 1819. The portrait captures Lord Hill in his general officers uniform, adorned with the Bath Star and Waterloo Medal, symbols of his distinguished military career. With a confident and resolute expression, Lord Hill holds his hat in his right hand and places his left hand on the hilt of his sword. Born in County Donegal, Ireland, Rowland, 1st Viscount Hill, rose through the ranks of the British Army to become one of the most respected and experienced commanders of the Napoleonic Wars. He gained fame for his leadership during the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, where he commanded the right wing of the Allied army and played a crucial role in the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. The portrait beautifully captures the essence of a seasoned military leader, with the intricate details of his uniform and the subtle play of light and shadow adding to its historical significance. Lord Hill's posture and gaze convey a sense of determination and readiness, reflecting the courage and dedication that defined his military career. This portrait is a testament to the heroism and leadership of one of the most influential figures in British military history.
