The Battle of Waterloo, 1824. Emperor Napoleon met his final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. This painting - the largest at the Rijksmuseum - shows the moment when the tide turned: the British general Wellington hears that the Prussian army is approaching. Victory, and an end to twenty years of war, is at hand. The Dutch crown prince, later Willem II, lies wounded on a stretcher. For his courage in the field, he was known as the Hero of Waterloo.
