APSLEY HOUSE, London. " Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany" c.1822 by Henry WYATT (1794-1840). Prince Frederick (1763-1827) was the second son of George III and heir to his elder brother George IV. His military command in an ill-fated campaign in the Netherlands inspired the rhyme " The Grand Old Duke of York". Subsequently, as Commander in Chief of the Army from 1795, he instituted a range of reforms that put the army in good stead for the wars to come, including founding the military college at Sandhurst in 1802.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable painting titled "Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany" by Henry Wyatt. The artwork, displayed at Apsley House in London, depicts Prince Frederick (1763-1827), the second son of George III and heir to his elder brother George IV. Prince Frederick's military command during an ill-fated campaign in the Netherlands inspired the famous nursery rhyme "The Grand Old Duke of York. " However, his legacy extends far beyond this whimsical verse. As Commander in Chief of the Army from 1795, he implemented a series of reforms that greatly improved the army's efficiency and preparedness for future conflicts. One notable achievement was the establishment of Sandhurst Military College in 1802. This institution became renowned for training generations of exceptional officers who would go on to serve their country with distinction. Prince Frederick's forward-thinking vision ensured that Britain had a well-prepared military force ready to face the challenges ahead. Henry Wyatt skillfully captures Prince Frederick's regal presence and commanding aura in this portrait. His attention to detail is evident as every brushstroke brings out both strength and vulnerability within the subject. As we admire this historical masterpiece, let us remember Prince Frederick's significant contributions to British military history and how his reforms laid a solid foundation for future generations.
