EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The South-west view of Horse Guards, Westminster, London, captured by the renowned artist Antonio Canaletto in 1809, showcases his exceptional talent for architectural detail. In this monochrome masterpiece, we are presented with a grand panorama of the Horse Guards building and its surrounding area. The aquatint technique used by Canaletto adds depth and texture to the image, allowing us to appreciate every intricate line and shadow. The Horse Guards building stands proudly in the heart of Westminster as a symbol of British power and authority. Its impressive exterior is beautifully depicted in this print, showcasing its elegant design and historical significance. As we gaze upon this scene from centuries past, we can almost hear the sounds of horses trotting on the parade ground outside. People go about their daily lives against a backdrop that exudes both charm and majesty. Thanks to William Fellows' careful preservation efforts at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, we are able to admire this remarkable piece today. It serves as a reminder not only of England's rich history but also of Canaletto's extraordinary talent for capturing moments frozen in time.
