EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Field Marshal Sir John Colborne, painted by the renowned Dutch artist Jan Willem Pieneman in 1821, offers a glimpse into the distinguished military career of one of the most significant figures in British military history. Sir John Colborne, born in 1778, rose to prominence during the Napoleonic Wars, earning his knighthood in 1815 after commanding the 52nd Foot, also known as the Oxfordshire Light Infantry, at the Battle of Waterloo. During this pivotal battle, Colborne's regiment played a crucial role in the rout of the French Imperial Guard, a turning point that ultimately led to the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. The 52nd Foot's valiant charge through the thick fog of battle, with Colborne leading from the front, left an indelible mark on the annals of military history. The painting, now held at Apsley House in London, captures the essence of Colborne's military prowess and unwavering determination. Dressed in the uniform of a full colonel, complete with the campaign medals he had earned, Colborne gazes steadfastly out at the viewer, exuding an air of authority and confidence. The meticulous attention to detail in Pieneman's brushstrokes brings the portrait to life, transporting us back to a time when the fate of Europe hung in the balance. This evocative image serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of Sir John Colborne and the 52nd Foot, whose courage and tenacity helped shape the course of history during the Napoleonic Wars. The painting remains an enduring symbol of the heroism and sacrifice of those who fought to protect their country and uphold the values of freedom and democracy.
