EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Celebration on the Thames near Whitehall, after the Coronation of James II" transports us back to a momentous event in history. Created by Willem van de Velde, the Elder, this masterpiece captures the jubilation and grandeur that followed James II's coronation. Set against the backdrop of the majestic Thames River, an array of ships, boats, and barges fill the scene. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings each vessel to life as they sail along with great pomp and splendor. The air is filled with excitement as cannons are fired in celebration, their resounding booms echoing through Whitehall. This historic occasion marked not only James II's ascension to power but also his commitment to Catholicism. As such, it was a significant event for both England and Scotland. The print serves as a visual testament to this pivotal moment in time when two nations came together in rejoicing. Now housed at Yale Center for British Art within the prestigious Paul Mellon Collection, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its rich historical significance. It reminds us of our shared past and invites us into an era where celebrations were grandiose affairs filled with joy and revelry. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Van de Velde, we can almost hear the cheers of jubilation that once echoed across London's iconic riverfront - a timeless reminder of our collective heritage.
