EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a gathering of some of the most influential artists and architects during the first 25 years of King George V's reign (1910-1935). The image, dating back to 1935, features Sir John Lavery, Sir William Orpen, Sir Edwin Lutyens, and Sir Frank Brangwyn, all prominent figures in their respective fields during the 1930s. Sir John Lavery, a leading Irish painter, was renowned for his portraits and landscapes. His works were often exhibited at the Royal Academy and he was knighted in 1925. Sir William Orpen, another Irish painter, was known for his portraits and genre scenes. He was also a prolific war artist during World War I and was knighted in 1920. Sir Edwin Lutyens, an English architect, was a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts movement and is best known for his designs of country houses and public buildings. He was appointed Surveyor of the Fabric of Westminster Abbey in 1924 and was knighted in 1918. Sir Frank Brangwyn, a Welsh painter and designer, was known for his murals, tapestries, and stained glass. He was a prolific exhibitor at the Royal Academy and was knighted in 1923. The photograph captures these four esteemed men in a relaxed setting, dressed in formal attire, likely at a gathering or event in their honor. The black and white image, with its high contrast and sharp focus, transports us back to an era of artistic and architectural innovation during the early 20th century. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of these artists and architects and their contributions to the cultural landscape of the time.
