| Description |
Deutsch: Am Morgen nach der Schlacht von Waterloo am 19. Juni 1815: Der schottisch-belgische Maler und Kupferstecher John Heaviside Clark (1771-1863) hatte am Morgen nach der Schlacht den Ort aufgesucht und Skizzen angefertigt. Sein ungewöhnliches Gemälde schildert auf drastische Weise die Szenerie. Mit über 53 000 Toten, die die Schlacht gefordert hatte, war die Landschaft bei Waterloo am nächsten Morgen übersät mit den Leichen und Verwundeten. Grausamkeit und Geschäftigkeit stoßen in der Darstellung aufeinander: Frauen mit ihren Kindern suchen unter den Körpern nach ihren Männern oder Verwandten, Soldaten bergen Verletzte, Gräber werden ausgehoben. Im Hintergrund liegen Leichen, denen die Uniform vom Leib gezogen wurde (extracted from Deutsches Historisches Museum).
English: The Scottish-Belgian painter and engraver John Heaviside Clark (1771-1863) visited the site the morning after the battle and made sketches. His unusual painting depicts the scenery in a drastic way. With over 53,000 deaths left in the battle, the landscape near Waterloo was littered with the corpses and wounded the next morning. Cruelty and busyness collide in the depiction: women with their children search for their husbands or relatives among the bodies, soldiers rescue the injured, graves are dug. In the background lie corpses whose uniforms have been ripped off. |
