MORE ABOUT THIS ARTWORK:
High-quality hand-painted oil masterpiece inspired by the distinguished work of Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-73). This captivating painting commemorates the illustrious costume ball held on 12 May 1842 at Buckingham Palace, a regal affair attended by over two thousand distinguished guests.
The canvas unfolds with precision, depicting Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in splendid attire as Edward III and Queen Philippa of Hainault, respectively. The artist, drawing inspiration from Landseer’s keen eye for detail, recreates the opulent setting in the Throne Room with authenticity. The royal couple stands on a raised dais beneath a Gothic canopy adorned with a purple velvet cloth of estate, featuring the royal arms of Edward III meticulously embroidered.
James Robinson Planché (1796-1880), overseeing the design, ensured historical accuracy in the costumes, intending to revive the declining Spitalfields silk industry. The costumes, based on tomb effigies, added a touch of authenticity to the grand event. However, even in this quest for accuracy, Queen Victoria’s silhouette, shaped by tightly laced stays and layered petticoats, subtly reflects the fashion trends of her own era. Prince Albert, anachronistically, is depicted wearing the jeweled Sword of Offering, a relic made by Rundells for George IV’s coronation in 1821.
The play of light on the royal garments and the intricate details of the Gothic canopy transport viewers to a night of unparalleled splendor. The color palette, echoing Landseer’s mastery, enriches the regal atmosphere, bringing to life a moment frozen in time.
This hand-painted oil painting serves as a visual time capsule, inviting art enthusiasts to witness the royal couple’s foray into history, where tradition, fashion, and the silk industry converged in a spectacle of elegance.
