The House of Commons, 1833
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas print by George Hayter that offers a glimpse into the historic moment following the Great Reform Act of 1832. This remarkable artwork, housed in the National Portrait Gallery in London, UK, serves as a commemoration of this significant political milestone. The painting depicts the newly reformed House of Commons in 1833 during a session held at St. Stephens Chapel, which tragically succumbed to fire just one year later. In this image, we witness influential figures such as Charles Grey, William Lamb, and Arthur Wellesley gathered together. Hayter's attention to detail brings forth not only the grandeur of Westminster but also captures the essence of an era marked by political change and expanding democratic rights. The Extension of Franchise bill is symbolized through this piece as it portrays politicians engaging in discussions that would shape the future course of governance. This evocative artwork invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as politics, suffrage, and voting rights while immersing themselves in history. It stands as a testament to both artistic brilliance and historical significance.
