Original Description
Lady Butler’s On The Morning Of Waterloo The Cuirassiers Last Reveille (1898) is a stirring evocation of Napoleonic military grandeur and impending tragedy. The painting captures the elite French heavy cavalry—the Cuirassiers—at dawn before the Battle of Waterloo, their polished breastplates gleaming in the pale light, horses restive, and faces etched with resolve. Butler, renowned for her meticulous realism and dynamic compositions, elevates the scene beyond mere documentation, infusing it with psychological depth and a palpable sense of foreboding. Unlike the era’s glorified battle scenes, her work balances heroism with sobering realism, reflecting her signature style that revolutionized 19th-century military art. As one of the few women celebrated in this genre, Butler’s historical accuracy and emotional resonance secured her legacy in British art history. This piece, though lesser-known than her The Roll Call, remains a masterclass in narrative tension and atmospheric detail.
For those considering this artwork in a home or office setting, its epic scale (original size approx. 61 x 91 cm) demands a spacious wall with subdued lighting to highlight its dramatic contrasts of steely blues and warm dawn hues. Ideal for a study, library, or executive office, it pairs well with traditional or military-inspired decor—think rich wood tones, leather furnishings, and gilded accents. A large, ornate frame would enhance its historical gravitas, while positioning it opposite a window or beside a bookcase creates a focal point. Smaller reproductions could suit a hallway or salon, balanced with neutral walls to let its moody palette stand out. The painting’s themes of courage and sacrifice make it particularly resonant in leadership-oriented spaces.
