EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in British history - the knighting of Herbert Ashman, Esq. by Queen Victoria herself. The grandeur and significance of this event are beautifully depicted in Richard Caton Woodville's oil on canvas masterpiece. The scene unfolds at the Council House in Bristol on November 12th, 1899. Queen Victoria, adorned in regal attire, stands tall as she bestows the prestigious honor upon Ashman, who is dressed resplendently for the occasion. The painting showcases their figures against a backdrop of bustling streets filled with cheering crowds and fluttering flags. Woodville's attention to detail transports us back to that monumental day over a century ago. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes bring life to every element within the frame - from the majestic horses pulling carriages to the soldiers standing guard with pride. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded not only of Queen Victoria's reign but also of her lasting impact on British society. This image serves as a testament to her authority and influence during an era defined by tradition and ceremony. Preserved within Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, this painting continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It immortalizes a moment when two individuals - one representing royalty and power, the other embodying civic leadership - came together in celebration of their shared heritage and accomplishments.
