"The Field at Waterloo" is a painting by British artist Robert Alexander Hillingford (1825–1904), known for his historical scenes and depictions of famous battles. Hillingford's work often reflects his interest in the Napoleonic Wars, and "The Field at Waterloo" is no exception, capturing the aftermath of one of the most significant battles in European history.

The painting portrays the somber and chaotic landscape following the Battle of Waterloo, which took place on June 18, 1815, and marked the final defeat of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. In Hillingford's representation, the viewer is confronted with the grim reality of war, as the field is strewn with the wounded and dead, illustrating the high cost of the Allied victory against the French forces.

Hillingford's attention to detail and his commitment to historical accuracy are evident in the uniforms, weaponry, and other period details depicted in the painting. The somber tones and the expressions of the figures convey the exhaustion and emotional toll of the battle on the soldiers. His work serves not only as an artistic interpretation of the event but also as a visual historical record, capturing the essence of the battle's impact on both the landscape and the men who fought there.

"The Field at Waterloo" is characteristic of Hillingford's artistic style, which often involved extensive research and a narrative approach to historical painting. His works were popular in the Victorian era, appealing to an audience fascinated by the grandeur and drama of history. Today, Hillingford's paintings, including "The Field at Waterloo," are valuable for their historical representation and are appreciated for their artistic merit, offering insight into the 19th-century British perspective on the Napoleonic Wars.

While "The Field at Waterloo" is not as widely known as some other depictions of the battle by artists like William Sadler or the more famous "The Battle of Waterloo" by William Turner, it remains an important work within Hillingford's oeuvre and contributes to the visual legacy of the Napoleonic era in British art.
