The Waterloo Vase is a 15-foot (4.6 m) stone urn, situated in the garden of Buckingham Palace in central London. Fashioned from a single piece of Carrara marble, it was initially presented to Napoleon I, who intended to have it carved in celebration of anticipated future military victories. After the Emperor’s defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, the uncarved vase was given to the Prince Regent, later George IV. The Prince commissioned the sculptor, Richard Westmacott to decorate the vase with reliefs celebrating the victory at Waterloo. The original plan to place the vase in the Waterloo Gallery at Windsor Castle proved unrealisable, the weight of the vase being greater than the gallery’s floors could bear. It was therefore given to the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. Since the vase wa

  • Ваза Ватерлоо (англ. Vase Waterloo) — каменная урна высотой 15 метров и шириной 4,6 метра, высеченная из цельного куска мрамора Каррары. С 1906 года используется как элемент декорации сада Букингемского дворца в Лондоне. (ru)
  • Το Βάζο του Βατερλώ είναι μεγάλο βάζο, ύψους 5 μέτρων και βάρους 20 τόνων, το οποίο έχει κατασκευαστεί από ένα κομμάτι μάρμαρο Καρράρας. Από το 1906 χρησιμοποιείται ως διακοσμητικό κήπου στον κήπο του Ανακτόρου του Μπάκινγχαμ, στο Λονδίνο. Εμπνευσμένο από την αρχαία ρωμαϊκή τέχνη, το Βάζο του Βατερλώ διακοσμήθηκε με ανάγλυφα του Γεωργίου του Γ' (ο οποίος είχε αποσυρθεί προ πολλού από τη δημόσια ζωή) στο θρόνο του, τον Ναπολέοντα πεζό και διάφορα αλληγορικά προσωπα. Δύο φτερωτοί άγγελοι προβάλλουν από τις πλευρές του βάζου, μοιάζοντας περισσότερο με ακρόπρωρα πλοίων, παρά με λαβές βάζου. (el)

  • Waterloo Vase är en stor , fem meter hög och väger cirka 20 ton , som är skulpterad ur ett enda block carraramarmor. Sedan 1906 har den använts som en trädgårdsprydnad i Buckingham Palaces trädgård i London. När kejsar Napoleon I av Frankrike reste genom Toscana på väg till den ryska fronten visades han ett massivt marmorblock som han ville skulle sparas. Napoleon kan ha beordrat att dagens urnas form skulle huggas ut, men sparat panelerna odekorerade redo för att prydas av minnesmärken av hans förväntade segrar. (sv)
