"Pyrenees, 28th July 1813" is an evocative historical engraving by T. Fielding, published in 1819, which forms part of the series "The Victories of the Duke of Wellington." This series was commissioned to celebrate the military achievements of Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, who played a pivotal role in the Napoleonic Wars. The engraving was based on an original painting by Richard Westall, a prominent English painter and illustrator known for his historical and literary subjects.

The artwork captures a significant moment from the Battle of the Pyrenees, which took place between July 25 and August 2, 1813. This battle was a crucial engagement during the Peninsular War, a theater of the larger Napoleonic Wars, where the allied forces of Britain, Spain, and Portugal, under the command of Wellington, faced the French army led by Marshal Soult. The battle was marked by intense combat in the rugged terrain of the Pyrenees mountains, and it ultimately resulted in a decisive victory for the allied forces, further weakening Napoleon's grip on the Iberian Peninsula.

Fielding's engraving meticulously depicts the chaotic and dynamic nature of the battlefield, with soldiers engaged in fierce combat amidst the challenging mountainous landscape. The attention to detail and the dramatic composition reflect the intensity and heroism associated with Wellington's campaigns. Westall's original painting, from which the engraving was derived, would have provided a vivid and inspirational source for Fielding's work, emphasizing the valor and strategic brilliance of Wellington and his troops.

Published in 1819, the engraving was part of a broader effort to commemorate and celebrate the military successes of the Duke of Wellington, who had become a national hero in Britain. The series "The Victories of the Duke of Wellington" served not only as a tribute to his leadership but also as a means of documenting and immortalizing the key battles that shaped the course of European history during the early 19th century.
