About this artwork

George Jones was a well known British artist, best known for his military-themed paintings. In 1834, he created an oil-on-canvas masterpiece depicting the Royal Chelsea Hospital's smoking house, a place where war veterans could retire and receive nursing care. The painting showcases a group of pensioners narrating the Battle of Corunna, a historic event that occurred in Spain in 1809. During this battle, a French corps launched an attack on a British army led by Lieutenant-general Sir John Moore. This print has been meticulously color matched to the original and has received approval from the prestigious Sir John Soane's Museum. Every purchase made helps in funding the museum's various activities and upkeep.

About the artist

George Jones (1786-1869) was not only a well known British painter but also an army officer. Best known for his stunning military-themed paintings, Jones was the offspring of the famous mezzotint engraver, John Jones.

His artistic journey began with training at the Royal Academy schools right at the start of the 1800s, prior to his service in the Peninsular War. For his exceptional depiction of the Battle of Waterloo, he was rewarded with a prise of 200 guineas by the British Institution in 1820. He created a different take on the same theme two years later, earning him an additional 200 guineas. His talent was recognised when he was named a Royal Academician in 1824.
