The Embankment and Cleopatra's Needle at Night, London, c. 1910
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the timeless allure of the city under a starry sky. Painted by George Hyde Pownall, this oil on panel print showcases the enchanting beauty of urban life in early 20th century London. The scene depicts a serene promenade along the River Thames, illuminated by an array of electric street lamps. The soft glow from these lights casts a warm ambiance upon the cobblestone walkway and highlights the architectural details of nearby buildings. As we gaze into this nocturnal cityscape, we are transported back in time to an era when electricity was still relatively new and its transformative power was evident. In the foreground stands Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient Egyptian obelisk that has become synonymous with London's rich history. Its imposing presence adds a touch of grandeur to the composition while reminding us of the city's deep-rooted connection to both past and present. Pownall masterfully captures not only the physical elements but also evokes a sense of tranquility and contemplation within his painting. The reflection of lights on water creates a mesmerizing effect as if nature itself is joining in harmony with man-made marvels. This artwork invites us to take a leisurely stroll along this iconic riverwalk, immersing ourselves in London's vibrant energy even after nightfall. It serves as a reminder that no matter how much time passes or how technology advances, there will always
