EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les Quatre Bras, looking towards Waterloo" takes us back to the historic year of 1815. Published by R. Bowyer, this colour aquatint beautifully captures the essence of the landscape that witnessed one of history's most decisive victories - Waterloo. The image showcases a picturesque view of Quatre Bras, a small village situated on the road leading to Waterloo. The English School from the 19th century skillfully brings this scene to life with intricate details and vibrant colors. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a time when battles and warfare shaped nations. The significance of this location cannot be understated as it served as a crucial point in Napoleon's campaign during the Napoleonic Wars. It was here that forces clashed in fierce combat before ultimately culminating in victory for those opposing Napoleon on June 18th, 1815. Every element within this image tells its own story - from the winding roads leading through quaint villages and houses nestled amidst rolling landscapes, all hinting at both beauty and destruction brought about by war. As we admire this engraving preserved by Bridgeman Images at the National Army Museum in London, let us remember those who fought bravely on these battlefields. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and how even amidst turmoil, art can capture moments that transcend time itself.
