EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Capture of San Sebastian, Spain, 31st August 1813 (1819)" by T Fielding depicts the historic moment when British and Portuguese troops successfully took control of San Sebastian from the occupying French forces. The artwork is part of The Victories of the Duke of Wellington collection, showcasing significant events during the Napoleonic Wars. Despite the population's anti-French sentiment, this victory was marred by a tragic turn. As depicted in the image, after liberating the city, British and Portuguese soldiers resorted to sacking and burning it. This unexpected act reflects both the brutality of warfare and perhaps a sense of vengeance against their oppressors. The artist skillfully captures the chaos and intensity on this battlefield. Smoke billows from burning buildings as flags wave proudly in triumph. Soldiers armed with bayonets stand tall amidst ruins while others engage in fierce combat. The scene portrays not only heroism but also highlights the harsh realities faced by those caught up in war. The central figure is none other than Sir Arthur Wellesley, famously known as Lord Wellington or "the Iron Duke". His leadership played a crucial role in securing victories throughout Europe during this tumultuous period. This print serves as a powerful reminder of both triumphs and tragedies that unfolded during one of history's most significant conflicts - an enduring testament to courage, sacrifice, and human resilience.
