EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event in British history - the departure of His Most Gracious Majesty George IV for Scotland. Painted by Thomas Miles Richardson Senior, this remarkable watercolor showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The scene unfolds at Greenwich on a tranquil morning as the royal barge awaits its distinguished passenger. The quay is bustling with activity as people gather to witness this grand occasion. A group of rowers sit poised with raised oars, ready to propel the majestic vessel forward. The barge itself exudes opulence and elegance, adorned with intricate decorations that befit royalty. Behind the rowers lies the lavishly furnished passenger compartment where a vigilant soldier stands guard, ensuring utmost security for His Majesty's journey. Richardson's masterful brushstrokes beautifully capture every nuance of this historic moment - from the shimmering waters of River Thames to the architectural splendor surrounding it. This painting is undoubtedly one of his most outstanding works and was exhibited in Newcastle in 1826, showcasing his versatility beyond his beloved North East region. As we gaze upon this exquisite artwork today, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in British monarchy. It serves as a testament not only to Richardson's artistic prowess but also to our enduring fascination with history and regal pageantry.
