EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable painting titled "Pieneman - General Sir John Elley N070454" displayed at Apsley House in London. The portrait, sketched by Jan Willem Pieneman in 1821, immortalizes the distinguished Lieutenant General Sir John Elley (c. 1770-1839). Sir John Elley played a pivotal role during the historic Battle of Waterloo in 1815, where he served as the deputy adjutant-general of cavalry. Notably, he fearlessly participated in the charge of the heavy brigade and found himself surrounded by French cuirassiers at one point. Despite this perilous situation, his exceptional height and extraordinary strength enabled him to cut his way out with sheer determination. The painting captures both Sir John Elley's military prowess and his indomitable spirit. It serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery exhibited by soldiers during this significant period in history. Displayed within Apsley House, which holds great historical significance itself as it was once home to Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, this artwork is a testament to British military heritage and Georgian era aesthetics. Photographed by Historic England Photo Library, this print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail captured within Pieneman's masterpiece while providing an opportunity for reflection on the valor demonstrated by individuals like Lieutenant General Sir John Elley on that fateful day at Waterloo.
