EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century color print, titled "Houses of Parliament," was created by renowned English artist George Baxter in the 1850s. The image captures the breathtaking facade of the Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament, located in London, England, on the south bank of the River Thames. The Palace of Westminster, a symbol of British political heritage, underwent a major reconstruction during the mid-19th century following a devastating fire in 1834. This reconstruction was led by architects Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin, who embraced the Gothic Revival style, resulting in a Neo-Gothic masterpiece. Baxter's print showcases the Palace's Perpendicular and Victorian Gothic architectural features in exquisite detail. The intricate stonework, pointed arches, and tall, narrow windows are all rendered in vibrant oil colors, adding depth and texture to the print. The Thames River, with its gentle curves and reflection of the Palace's grandeur, completes the scene. This beautiful work of art, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), provides a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of England during the Victorian era. The Houses of Parliament, a testament to the country's political heritage, continue to be an iconic landmark and a source of inspiration for artists and visitors alike.
