The Crowd, 1847
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Robert William Buss captures a vibrant scene in the heart of London. The painting depicts a cheering crowd gathered on Pall Mall, with Wyatts statue of King George III towering behind them at the junction of Pall Mall East and Cockspur Street. This lively composition offers a glimpse into the social fabric of 19th century Britain. The banner above the house on the left catches our attention with its faded words - 'Victoria' followed by an obscured word beginning with 'A'. It suggests that this joyful gathering may commemorate Queen Victoria's wedding to Prince Albert in February 1840. As we explore this bustling street, we notice people from all walks of life. A chimney sweep boy darts through the crowd, avoiding collision with elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen. Their fashionable attire contrasts sharply against his soot-covered appearance, highlighting societal divisions during this era. Amidst it all stands an equestrian statue of King George III, reminding us of England's rich history and royal lineage. The artist skillfully captures both admiration and horror on faces within the crowd as they witness this majestic sight. "The Crowd, 1847" is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it encapsulates themes such as occupation, fashion, class divide, and national pride. Through Buss's masterful use of color and detail in oil painting technique, he transports us back to Victorian London where streets were filled with energy and diversity.
