EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Meeting of Wellington and Blucher at La Belle Alliance," depicts a pivotal moment in the aftermath of the historic Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. The image, created by the skilled hand of Austrian artist Johann Christian Friedrich Högler, better known as Stadler, is based on a drawing and engraving by the renowned British artist Sir Thomas Lawrence Heath. The Battle of Waterloo, fought between the French army under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte and the allied forces led by the Duke of Wellington and Prussian General Blücher, marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars. In this poignant scene, Wellington and Blücher are shown meeting at the inn La Belle Alliance, situated between the villages of Braine-l'Alleud and Waterloo. The two military leaders exchange greetings and discuss their joint victory over the French forces. The intricate details of the print, from the uniforms and weapons of the soldiers to the expressions on the faces of Wellington and Blücher, bring the moment to life. The atmosphere is one of relief and triumph, as the allies celebrate their hard-fought victory. The print also serves as a testament to the camaraderie and unity between the British and Prussian forces during this critical period in European history. The Meeting of Wellington and Blücher at La Belle Alliance is a timeless piece that continues to captivate historians, art enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in the Napoleonic Wars. This beautiful aquatint print offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to experience the emotions and events that shaped the course of European history.
