Equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington, Bronze equestrian monument at Hyde Park Corner, England
The bronze statue depicts Arthur Wellesley mounted on his horse Copenhagen, with four British soldiers representing different regions at the pedestal base.
Sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm created this monument in 1888 to replace an earlier statue that stood on the Wellington Arch until its transfer to Aldershot.
Each corner of the pedestal features military figures from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, reflecting the unified forces under Wellington's command.
The statue stands on the north side of Hyde Park Corner, facing Apsley House, which served as Wellington's London residence.
The bronze material used for this statue comes from French cannons captured during military campaigns, while the base consists of pink granite from Scotland.
