EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Liberation of Madrid, 6th August 1812 (1819)" by T Fielding captures a significant moment in history. Depicting the aftermath of the withdrawal of occupying French forces, it showcases members of the clergy warmly welcoming the esteemed Duke of Wellington to the city. The Duke's arrival symbolizes not only victory but also freedom and relief for the people of Madrid. The image is part of "The Victories of the Duke of Wellington" collection from 1819, which pays tribute to one of Britain's greatest military leaders, Arthur Wellesley, famously known as the Iron Duke. On horseback alongside his cavalry, he stands tall as a commander and liberator. Amidst a sea of grateful faces and expressions filled with gratitude, this engraving beautifully portrays how religion played an integral role during times of war. The presence and blessings bestowed upon Wellington by clergymen emphasize their belief in divine intervention and protection. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this artwork transports us back to early 19th-century Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and turmoil, moments like these bring hope for peace and unity. T Fielding skillfully captures both historical accuracy and artistic expression in this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection. This print is not just an homage to bravery on the battlefield; it also highlights humanity's capacity for resilience in times marked by war
