Study for The Battle of Waterloo
Jan Willem Pieneman, c. 1824
As a cavalryman falls from his horse, a cannon is fired close behind him. The artillery had little effect at Waterloo. Heavy rain on the previous evening had made the ground boggy, so it was hard to move the heavy cannons whose heavy cannonballs sank into the mud, rather than bouncing up to cause damage.
