Painting of Wellington Mourning General Craufurd in the Cathedral of Ciudad Rodrigo
According to Alexander Craufurd in his book, General Craufurd and His Light Division, Sir William Fraser in his “Words on Wellington,” wrote “One of the most striking pictures I have ever seen was shown many years ago at the Gallery of Illustration. Among a series of dissolving views was one of Wellington standing alone before the High altar in the cathedral of Ciudad Rodrigo, looking at the coffin of General Craufurd, which was placed on a bier immediately in front of it.’
Does anyone know if this painting exists and if so where?
Thanks!
