Corbould, a name that resonates with artistry and history. From the picturesque Osterley Park in London to the heroic tale of James Wolfe on the Heights of Quebec, this surname has left an indelible mark. In 1843, a captivating watercolor titled "The Britons Deploring the Departure of the Last Roman Legion" emerged from Corbould's artistic prowess. It depicted a poignant moment in history when Britain bid farewell to its Roman heritage. "The Procession, " an oil-on-canvas masterpiece created in 1893, showcased Corbould's ability to capture grandeur. This artwork transported viewers back in time, allowing them to witness noble figures like The Earl of Surrey beholding Geraldine's beauty through a mirror. "Hail. Here comes the conquering Hero, " another remarkable creation by Corbould, celebrated triumph and victory. Painted with skillful strokes on canvas, it immortalized moments that inspired awe and admiration. But Corbould was not limited to historical scenes; he also ventured into landscapes. In "Nocturnal Landscape with Two Figures, " his design for an engraved book illustration between 1807-44 evoked a sense of mystery under moonlit skies. Even animals found their place within Corbould's artistry. A cream state carriage horse from Queen Victoria's stud became his subject around 1875. Though unknown as its creator, this piece portrayed elegance and regality fit for royalty. Not only did humans and animals grace his canvases but also intimate portraits like "Going To Cover. " Created around 1879 by Alfred Chantrey Corbould himself, it captured individuality frozen in time—a testament to his talent as a portraitist. Corbould didn't shy away from depicting historical events either; he illustrated "The Attack of Morne Fortune" during St Lucia's tumultuous times in 1804—an artwork that conveyed the intensity of battle and the resilience of those involved.
