The Battle of Waterloo — History & Facts
Here the Duke of Wellington is receiving the message that Prussian forces are coming to his aid. Wellington, commander of the Anglo-Dutch troops, is the central figure in this group portrait of the major players at Waterloo. Lying wounded on a stretcher in the left foreground is the Dutch Crown Prince, later King William II.
Originally intended for Wellington, the painting remained in the Netherlands thanks to William I who bought the picture for his son.
