EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, painted by George Dawe around 1818, showcases Field Marshal Prince von Blucher, a pivotal figure in European military history. Gebhard Leberecht von Blucher (1742-1819) was a renowned Prussian general, hailed as a hero for his strategic leadership during the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. The painting is significant as it was owned by the Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley (1769-1852), who famously collaborated with Blucher to secure a decisive Allied victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The portrait, now held at Apsley House, London, as part of the collection of Historic England, beautifully encapsulates the essence of Blucher's military prowess and determination. With a stern gaze and resolute expression, the Prussian prince is depicted in full military regalia, adorned with medals and insignia, symbolizing his esteemed military career. The intricate details of the uniform, the subtle play of light on the canvas, and the meticulous brushwork all contribute to the painting's enduring appeal. Blucher's alliance with Wellington during the Napoleonic Wars marked a turning point in European history, leading to the eventual defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. This painting serves as a testament to their shared triumph and the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who fought for freedom and peace in Europe. The historical significance of this portrait, combined with the artistic mastery of George Dawe, makes it an invaluable addition to the rich artistic and historical heritage of Apsley House and Historic England.
