Pieneman - Field Marshal Henry William Paget N070459
APSLEY HOUSE, London. Field Marshal Henry William Paget 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1768-1854) sketched by Jan Willem PIENEMAN in 1821 (WM 1481-1948). Despite personal differences with the Duke of Wellington, in 1815 General Paget commanded the Cavalry Corps. He successfully covered the withdrawal of the Allies following the Battle of Quatre Bras. At the Battle of Waterloo he led a spectacular cavalry charge that turned back D Erlons Corps from their assault. One of the last cannon shots fired that day hit Paget in the right leg, necessitating its amputation. According to anecdote he was close to Wellington when he was hit, exclaiming, " By God, sir, I ve lost my leg!" To which Wellington replied, " By God, sir, so you have!"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the famous painting "Pieneman - Field Marshal Henry William Paget N070459" displayed at Apsley House in London. The artwork, sketched by Jan Willem Pieneman in 1821, immortalizes the remarkable life of Field Marshal Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1768-1854). Despite their personal differences, General Paget commanded the Cavalry Corps under the Duke of Wellington during the historic Battle of Waterloo in 1815. His leadership skills were put to the test as he successfully covered the Allies' withdrawal after the Battle of Quatre Bras. However, it was his spectacular cavalry charge at Waterloo that truly solidified his place in history. During this decisive battle, General Paget led a daring charge that halted D Erlons Corps' assault on Allied forces. Unfortunately, amidst this heroic act, he suffered a severe injury when a cannon shot struck his right leg. Despite losing his limb and enduring immense pain, an anecdote recounts how he exclaimed to Wellington upon being hit: "By God sir, I've lost my leg!". To which Wellington famously replied: "By God sir so you have!". This print not only captures an iconic moment from military history but also pays tribute to General Paget's bravery and resilience on that fateful day. It serves as a reminder of those who sacrificed for victory and stands as a testament to human determination even in times of adversity.
