Monumenten bij Waterloo, 1815 1815 - 1820

"Monumenten bij Waterloo, 1815" is an anonymous watercolor depicting the monuments erected at the battlefield of Waterloo in 1815. The artist captures the rural landscape of Belgium, showcasing two monuments: the Lion's Mound on a grassy hill in the center and a tall column to the right. The scene is populated by small figures, enhancing the vastness of the landscape and emphasizing the grandeur of the memorials. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the immediate aftermath of the momentous battle and the early efforts to commemorate the fallen.
