EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a significant moment in history as Queen Victoria invests the Sultan with the prestigious Order of the Garter on board the Royal Yacht. Painted by George Housman Thomas, this oil on canvas artwork depicts an event that took place on July 17th, 1867. The painting showcases Queen Victoria, resplendent in her regal attire, standing tall and proud as she bestows this esteemed honor upon Abdulaziz, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. This marked a groundbreaking occasion as Abdulaziz became the first Ottoman sultan to visit Western Europe. Set against a backdrop of a majestic ship deck, adorned with British flags fluttering in the wind, this scene exudes grandeur and elegance. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the intricate costumes but also conveying a sense of dignity and significance through his composition. This painting serves as a testament to both diplomatic relations between nations and Queen Victoria's role as an influential figurehead during her reign. It symbolizes cultural exchange and mutual respect between two powerful empires at that time. Preserved by The Trustees of Weston Park Foundation in the UK, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It stands as a reminder of an extraordinary moment when tradition met modernity on board one magnificent vessel - The Royal Yacht.
