EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning etching, titled "View of Greenwich Hospital on the River Thames at Greenwich," was created by the English artist John June in the year 1751. The image captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of the Greenwich Hospital, a historic building located in Greenwich, London, England, on the banks of the River Thames. The Old Royal Naval College, as it is now known, was originally established as a hospital and retirement home for seafaring personnel of the Royal Navy. The Baroque-style building, with its intricate facade and impressive columns, dominates the scene, reflecting the power and wealth of the British naval forces during the 18th century. The image also showcases a number of boats and ships moored along the waterfront, indicating the importance of water transport in the daily life of the hospital and the surrounding area. The Dutch influence on the architecture is evident, reflecting the historical connections between England and the Netherlands during this period. This etching, which is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating insight into the history of naval warfare, the Royal Navy, and the architectural heritage of England during the Baroque era. The use of intricate detail and delicate shading in the water, the boats, and the buildings, as well as the careful composition of the scene, make this a truly captivating work of art.
