EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable wax model of the Duke of Wellington gazing at Napoleon, created around 1840 by Madame Tussauds in London. The intricate details and mixed media used in this artwork bring to life a significant moment in history. The Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, who lived from 1769 to 1852, was known for his military prowess and leadership during the Napoleonic Wars. In this scene, he is depicted visiting Madame Tussauds' museum multiple times to witness her astonishing creation of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821). The wax figure of Napoleon lies on his camp bed, adorned with the very cloak he wore during the Battle of Marengo on June 14th, 1800. Surrounding Napoleon's effigy are busts representing his two wives: Josephine and Marie-Louise. This display not only captures an intimate moment between two historical figures but also serves as a testament to Madame Tussaud's talent for preserving relics and creating lifelike portraits. As a popular tourist attraction even today, Madame Tussauds continues to amaze visitors with its collection of waxes and waxworks. This particular photograph invites viewers into a world where history comes alive through artistry and craftsmanship. It offers us a glimpse into the past while reminding us that even great leaders like Napoleon eventually succumb to mortality.
