G Greatbach: A Masterful Chronicle of History and Myth through Art - From the surrender of the Governor of Kinburn to the Allies during the Crimean War in 1855, to Queen Victoria's reception of the Guards at Buckingham Palace in 1857, Greatbach's brush captured the essence of pivotal moments in history. His works, including "French Artillery at the Battle of Inkermann" and "Repulse of the Russians at Kars," transport us to the battlefields of the Crimean War. Yet, his artistic prowess extended beyond history, as seen in his depictions of far-off lands like New York and Sydney in the late 19th century. Delving deeper into the realms of myth and legend, Greatbach's "Clovis and his Rebellious Soldier" and "The Fall of Man" (engraving) offer captivating glimpses into the past. Even his exploration of alchemical gold in the 19th century adds another layer to this remarkable artist's oeuvre.
