Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, portrait by Robert Home, oil on canvas, 1804. The Duke of Wellington (1769-1852), was an Anglo-Irish soldier and statesman, and one of the leading military and political figures of 19th-century Britain. His defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 put him in the top rank of Britain's military heroes. This early portrait was painted in 1804 while he was serving in India and he is depicted in his major-general's uniform.
