"The Duke of Wellington, 1812" is an oil on canvas portrait by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, depicting Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington. Painted in the same year, the work commemorates the Duke's victory at the Battle of Salamanca against the French during the Peninsular War, a part of the Napoleonic Wars. The portrait is notable for its historical significance as well as its artistic merit, exemplifying Goya's skill in capturing the character and stature of his subjects.

The painting features the Duke in military uniform, adorned with the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece and other honors, presenting him as both a nobleman and a celebrated military hero. The portrait's composition and the Duke's expression reflect a sense of confidence and determination, befitting his reputation as a strategic and formidable leader.

Goya, already well-established and respected by this time, was court painter to the Spanish Crown. His work spans the Rococo and Romantic periods, and he is often regarded as both the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns. "The Duke of Wellington, 1812" is a testament to Goya's transition into a more personal and political style of painting, moving away from the grandeur of his earlier court portraits to a more nuanced and sometimes critical portrayal of his subjects.

The painting gained additional fame when it was stolen from the National Gallery in London in 1961, an event that captured public attention and highlighted issues of security in art institutions. It was recovered four years later and has since remained a prominent piece in the National Gallery's collection.

As a work of art, "The Duke of Wellington, 1812" stands as a significant piece in the oeuvre of Francisco de Goya, offering insight into the artist's political views, his technical prowess, and the historical context of early 19th-century Spain and Britain.
