| Description |
English: View of Greenwich The picture shows a view of the Naval College and of the Queen’s House taken from the northern bank of the Thames. The central perspective has been played up by the artist, who narrowed the river to the width of a canal, broadened the promenade in front of the College and set back Wren’s domes deeper into the picture space. The park has been formalised to give the impression of a French garden. The scene, which is populated with elegantly dressed figures and a number of vessels of various types on the water, is lit from the right. The artist's initials and the date are signed in the lower-left corner. |
