(121.3 cm), Sculpture, Sir Francis Chantrey (British, 1781–1841), Wellington led the British forces to victory over Napoleon in the battle of Waterloo. Although this idealized portrait is carved in the classical mode (all'antica), with bared neck and blank eyes, the proud display of the military hero's dramatic profile sounds a clearly romantic note as well.
