EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases General William Keppel fearlessly storming the Morro Castle, depicted in a stunning oil on canvas masterpiece by Joshua Reynolds. The painting, measuring 147x176 cm, is housed in the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga in Lisbon, Portugal. In this powerful portrait, General Keppel stands tall and proud in his military uniform, commanding attention with a pointed gesture. The backdrop of the Cuban landscape adds an air of exoticism to the scene as soldiers and troops march forward to attack. The historical significance of this artwork lies in its connection to the last major operation of the Seven Years War (1756-1763), where England launched an offensive against Spain. Three Keppel brothers played crucial roles at Havana during this time: George Keppel as Commodore, August Keppel as Earl of Albemarle, and William Keppel himself. William Keppel's leadership shines through as he directed the storming of Morro Castle—an iconic moment captured by Reynolds' brushstrokes. His strategic brilliance earned him recognition as Army Commander-in-Chief while also serving as Naval Second-in-Command and Major General. This extraordinary image not only immortalizes a significant event but also pays tribute to the bravery and valor displayed by General William Keppel during one of history's most pivotal conflicts. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and battle, true leaders emerge with unwavering determination.
