WATERLOO 1815: The Art of Battle
Royal Armouries Leeds will be marking the anniversary with a special exhibition of art and weapons. Highlights of the exhibition are the rarely exhibited monumental ‘cartoon’ (12m x 3m) by Daniel Maclise on loan from the Royal Academy of Arts, and the magnificent painting ‘Scotland Forever!’ by Lady Elizabeth Butler from Leeds City of Art Gallery. Weapons and objects from the battlefield will be displayed alongside the artworks in a new interpretation of the events of 18 June 1815. The exhibition will be followed by a permanent redisplay of the Royal Armouries’ Waterloo collection at its museum in Leeds from Autumn 2015.
