Description
This is a reproduction of "The Defense of Saragossa" of 1828 by Sir David Wilkie. The painting depicts the Spanish efforts to resist the second siege of Saragossa in Spain by the troops of Napoleon. It highlights Agustina de Aragon, the Maid of Saragossa, who took a place at the guns during the three month siege in 1808. The French were able to conquer the city but only at the cost of the total destruction of the site. The resistance inspired Britain to commit significant forces to the Peninsular War. Agustina joined Wellington's army as an officer. Sir David Wilkie was a Scots painter who created this work at the age of forty-three. He died in 1841. The original work is 141 cm by 94 cm and is in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle, England.
