EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the grandeur of Somerset House, as captured in this exquisite photo print. The year is 1788, and inside these opulent walls, we witness a momentous occasion - King George III and Queen Charlotte are joined by their royal family to view an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. The image showcases the splendor of Georgian court life, with the king and queen surrounded by their entourage of courtiers. Dressed in regal attire, they exude elegance and authority as they peruse the masterpieces on display. The gallery itself is filled with paintings that speak volumes about the refined tastes and cultural pursuits of this illustrious family. Intriguingly, amidst all this sophistication, we catch a glimpse of children among them - a reminder that even royalty cherishes moments of familial joy. Perhaps it is through art that these young minds begin to appreciate beauty and creativity. This etching by Johann Heinrich Ramberg transports us back in time to an era when connoisseurs gathered to admire artistic brilliance within these hallowed halls. It serves as a testament to both the enduring legacy of Somerset House as a hub for artistic expression from 1771-1836 and its significance as a symbol of London's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, let us be reminded not only of our shared love for art but also how it has always united people across generations.
