The Guards Cheer, 1898
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a powerful moment of nationalistic pride and patriotism during Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. In this print by Hubert von Herkomer, we witness a group of soldiers cheering with unbridled enthusiasm, their faces beaming with loyalty and admiration for their queen. The composition is brought to life through the use of watercolor and gouache over photogravure, adding depth and vibrancy to the scene. The Union Jack flag proudly waves in the background, symbolizing unity and strength within the British Empire. This image not only celebrates the jubilee but also pays homage to the brave veterans who fought for their country. The presence of pensioners adorned with medals serves as a reminder of their sacrifice and dedication. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era when national identity was cherished above all else. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for a bygone era where love for one's country was palpable. Displayed in private collections around the world, "The Guards Cheer" continues to inspire awe and reverence for Queen Victoria's reign. Its timeless message resonates even today as it reminds us that patriotism knows no boundaries or limitations. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into history through this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder.
