"The Duke of Wellington at Waterloo" is a historical painting by the British artist Robert Alexander Hillingford (1825–1904), known for his works depicting scenes from British and European history, as well as literary subjects. The painting captures a pivotal moment in the Battle of Waterloo, which took place on June 18, 1815, and culminated in the defeat of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte by the allied forces under the command of the Duke of Wellington and Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher.

Hillingford's painting is a dramatic representation of the Duke of Wellington, whose full name was Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, as he oversees the battle. Wellington is typically depicted on horseback, exuding a sense of calm and determination amidst the chaos of war. The artwork reflects Hillingford's attention to historical detail and his penchant for capturing the grandeur and intensity of military engagements.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but Hillingford's active period as an artist, along with his interest in the Napoleonic Wars, suggests that it was likely produced in the latter half of the 19th century. Hillingford's works were widely appreciated during his lifetime for their vivid portrayal of historical events, and "The Duke of Wellington at Waterloo" is no exception, offering viewers a romanticized glimpse into one of the most significant battles in European history.

The painting is an example of the Victorian fascination with heroism and the glorification of military leaders. Hillingford's depiction of Wellington aligns with the Victorian ideal of the stoic and strategic military genius, contributing to the enduring mythos of the Duke as a national hero. While the painting may not be as well-known as other depictions of the Battle of Waterloo, it remains a notable work within Hillingford's oeuvre and continues to be of interest to historians and art enthusiasts alike for its artistic and cultural significance.
