The Devils Own, 1812,1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the intense Siege of Badajoz in April 1812. Painted by Richard Caton Woodville II, this watercolor on paper masterpiece showcases the heroic efforts of the 88th Regiment of Foot (Connaught Rangers) during the Peninsula Campaign. The scene depicts the British army, led by Arthur Wellesley (later known as Duke of Wellington), as they successfully force the surrender of the French garrison at Badajoz. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the soldiers engaged in battle and their strategic positioning around a castle fortress, to the smoke-filled battlefield and war-torn surroundings. Woodville's use of grisaille technique adds depth and intensity to this historical moment. The painting not only captures a significant event in military history but also pays tribute to those brave soldiers who fought valiantly for their country. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, "The Devils Own" serves as a powerful reminder of warfare's harsh realities and honors those who sacrificed their lives for freedom. This print transports viewers back in time, allowing them to witness firsthand an important chapter in British military history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this artwork for all art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
