Event
Wellington, Waterloo and Wonderful Art! Apsley House
On 18th June 2015 Britain's streets will be filled with people waving flags, popping open the champagne and honouring the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. The hero of the day was of course Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington who succeeded in ending over 20 years of grisly European conflict. Not only was he a military commander of the first order, but he was also a collector of exceptional art. At his London home Apsley House, we'll find his stunning collection of European Renaissance and Baroque paintings. Whilst we revel in paintings by Velazquez, Correggio, Claude Lorrain, Rubens and Van Dyck, we'll learn about the man, his astonishingly achievements and his artistic tastes.
