Painting Description
"The Last Eleven at Maiwand" is a historical painting by the Swiss artist Frank Feller (1848–1908) that commemorates the British soldiers who made a last stand during the Battle of Maiwand on July 27, 1880. The battle was part of the Second Anglo-Afghan War, where British Empire forces fought against Afghan warriors near the village of Maiwand in Afghanistan. Feller's work captures the heroism and desperation of the final eleven survivors of the 66th (Berkshire) Regiment of Foot as they faced overwhelming odds.
The painting is noted for its dramatic representation of the battle and the poignant portrayal of the soldiers' valiant but doomed effort to resist the Afghan fighters. Feller's attention to detail and his ability to convey the intensity of the conflict through the expressions and postures of the soldiers contribute to the painting's emotional impact. The artwork serves as a tribute to the bravery of the fallen and is a visual record of one of the significant confrontations of the Second Anglo-Afghan War.
As a historical piece, "The Last Eleven at Maiwand" also reflects the broader context of the British Empire's military engagements in the 19th century, as well as the public's interest in and reaction to these far-flung conflicts. The painting is an example of how art can be used to shape and reflect national identity and memory, commemorating the sacrifices made by soldiers in the service of their country. Frank Feller's work remains an important artifact for both art historians and those studying the military history of the British Empire.
