This print captures the historic Battle of Salamanca, Spain, which took place on 21st July 1812. Painted by T Fielding in 1819, this artwork showcases the intense clash between an Anglo-Portuguese army led by the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Marmont's French forces during the Peninsular War. The Battle of Salamanca was a crucial victory for the Duke of Wellington's army and marked a turning point in the war. The artist skillfully depicts the chaos and bravery on both sides with vivid colors and intricate details. From charging cavalrymen to infantry soldiers engaged in fierce combat, every element is meticulously portrayed. Amidst the tumultuous scene, one can spot Lord Wellington himself mounted on his horse, leading his troops with unwavering determination. The image also highlights casualties strewn across the battlefield as a reminder of the sacrifices made during this brutal conflict.

This remarkable piece from "The Victories of the Duke of Wellington" collection serves as a testament to courage, resilience, and strategic brilliance exhibited by those involved in this decisive battle.
