EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite ceiling of the Upper Hall in the Painted Hall, a masterpiece created by James Thornhill between 1707 and 1727. Located at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London, this wall painting is a true testament to Thornhill's artistic genius. The focal point of this grand composition is Queen Anne (1665-1714) and her husband George of Denmark being saluted by Victory herself. Neptune, god of the seas, offers up his trident as a symbol of their power over the vast oceans. The scene exudes regality and glorification as it captures an important moment in history. Every inch of this mural is adorned with elaborate decorations, ornate cherubs, and decorative angels that add to its overall splendor. The attention to detail is remarkable; each brushstroke brings life to every personification within the artwork. James Brittain skillfully captured this stunning piece through his lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty even from afar. This photograph serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us into a world where art meets history. As we gaze upon this magnificent print, we are transported back in time - immersed in an era when art was used not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a means to celebrate royalty and honor significant events.
