Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle - A Plan and Elevation of the Royal Fire-Works, London, 1749

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a momentous celebration in 18th century London. The image showcases an architectural drawing by George Vertue, depicting the grand fireworks display held in St James Park to commemorate the end of the War of the Austrian Succession and the signing of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. The scene is filled with anticipation as people gather in this bustling city to witness a spectacle like no other. The meticulously planned pavilion stands tall amidst a beautifully landscaped park, ready to host an unforgettable show. Handel's specially composed music fills the air, adding an enchanting layer to this joyous occasion. As darkness falls, pyrotechnics illuminate the sky with bursts of color and light. Gaetano Ruggieri's expertise in creating awe-inspiring fireworks dazzles spectators from all walks of life. Jean Nicolas Servandoni's meticulous planning ensures that every aspect is executed flawlessly. In this historic moment captured by Vertue's engraving and etching technique, we are transported back in time to experience not only a visual feast but also a profound sense of peace prevailing over war-torn Europe. This artwork serves as a testament to human resilience and our innate desire for harmony. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece reminds us that celebrations have always been an integral part of our culture – bringing communities together while marking significant milestones in history.
