Wellington tried to return it; a grateful Spain refused. Which is how it comes to reside at Apsley House Wellington’s home otherwise known as No 1 London. This star-studded show of Spanish art in British collections is full of such piercing crosscurrents and encounters. Goya paints Wellington frail and dazed with a look of wide-eyed exhaustion.
