Description
AFTER JOHN PRESCOTT KNIGHT THE MEETING OF NELSON AND WELLINGTON Oil on panel (24cm x 19cm (9.5in x 7.5in)) Note: The circumstances of the meeting between Wellington and Nelson were recalled by Wellington in conversation with the noted diarist John Wilson Croker at Walmer Castle on October 1st 1834. In September 1805 Wellesley had just returned from India and was due to meet the Secretary of State in the Colonial Office at Downing Street. On entering the room he immediately recognized Nelson and since they were kept waiting by the Secretary of State they conversed for three quarters of an hour. Nelson was killed at the Battle of Trafalgar later that year. It is not clear whether our painting is a copy of the original painting by Prescott Knight or the engraving by S W Reynolds of 1864
