Thomas Malton II was a talented artist who captured the essence of London in his stunning works. From the grandeur of the Bank of England on Threadneedle Street to the picturesque Chelsea Hospital, he brought these iconic landmarks to life with his brushstrokes. In "Figures Outside an Elegant Country House, " Malton showcased his mastery of pencil, pen, and grey ink, creating a scene that exuded elegance and charm. Not limited to London alone, Malton also ventured beyond its borders. His depiction of Oriel College in Oxford, with St. Mary's Church standing proudly in the distance, showcased his ability to capture architectural beauty outside the bustling cityscape. In collaboration with Thomas Rowlandson, Malton created "French Barracks" - a vivid portrayal that transported viewers back to August 12th, 1791. This piece offered a glimpse into military life during that time period and highlighted their joint talent for capturing historical moments. Malton's fascination with the Bank of England extended further as he depicted it again in 1781 alongside St Christopher-le-Stocks and St Bartholomew-by-the-Exchange - showcasing not only architectural prowess but also an eye for detail. His love for Westminster is evident through various pieces such as "Old Palace Yard" from both 1793 and 1782 editions. These artworks beautifully showcase this historic location through different lenses - one capturing its timeless beauty while another portrays it during an earlier era. Another masterpiece by Malton is "New Palace Yard and the entrance to Westminster Hall. " This artwork transports viewers back to London in 1782 when grandeur met everyday life at this iconic entrance. Malton's talents were not confined solely to buildings; he also captured churches like St George's Bloomsbury in all its glory - emphasizing intricate details that made each structure unique. Lastly, his interior view of Royal Naval Hospital's new chapel at Greenwich offers a glimpse into the serene and sacred space that provided solace to those seeking comfort.
