EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled 'Battle of Quatre Bras' by Thomas Sutherland, after William Heath, provides a vivid and intricate depiction of one of the most pivotal engagements of the Napoleonic Wars. The Battle of Quatre Bras, fought on June 16, 1815, took place in present-day Belgium, just days before the famous Battle of Waterloo. The print showcases the intense and chaotic scene of the battlefield, with swirling clouds of smoke and dust obscuring the view, as soldiers from both sides clash in hand-to-hand combat. The British and Dutch forces, led by the Duke of Wellington, are shown advancing against the French army under the command of Marshal Ney. The infantry charges, artillery duels, and cavalry charges are all brilliantly captured in this detailed and evocative image. Published by John Jenkins on December 1, 1815, this print was part of the comprehensive collection 'Napoleonic Wars, 1799-1815: The Martial Achievements of Great Britain and Her Allies from 1799 to 1815.' The aquatint technique used by Sutherland and Heath allowed for a high level of detail and tonal range, resulting in an exquisite and lifelike representation of the Battle of Quatre Bras. This historic print not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of the time but also offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a visual understanding of the events that led to the momentous Battle of Waterloo.
