EDITORS COMMENTS
Choosing the Red and White Roses in the Temple Garden, 1910 (fresco) captures a pivotal moment in history with artistic brilliance. Painted by Henry A. Payne, also known as Harry Payne, this masterpiece resides within the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London. The fresco depicts a scene from Shakespeare's play Henry VI, Part I (Act 2, Scene 4), where the Earl of Somerset is challenged by Richard Plantagenet, later to become Duke of York. This confrontation is believed to be the origin of the Wars of the Roses – a significant period in English history. Intricately detailed and richly colored, this print showcases pre-Raphaelite influences through its portrayal of males gathered around a sundial amidst an enchanting temple garden. The vibrant red and white roses symbolize opposing factions: Lancaster represented by Somerset and York embodied by Richard Plantagenet. Payne's skillful brushwork brings life to each character while capturing their intense emotions during this critical encounter. The presence of a majestic fountain adds an element of grandeur to the composition. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers historical insight into one of England's most turbulent periods. It stands as a testament to Payne's talent for storytelling through art and his ability to transport viewers back in time.
