EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving captures a significant moment in art history - The Opening of the New Building of the Institute of Painters in Water-Colours. In this remarkable image, we see members of royalty and esteemed guests exploring an exhibition filled with exquisite watercolor paintings. Led by none other than the Prince of Wales himself, accompanied by his royal party including Princess Christian and Princess Mary of Teck, they are seen carefully examining each artwork on display. The Duke of Edinburgh can also be spotted among them as they engage in deep discussions about these masterpieces. The grandeur and elegance emanating from this scene is palpable. The newly constructed building stands proudly on Piccadilly as a testament to artistic excellence. Sir F Leighton, President at that time, can be seen guiding his distinguished guests through this magnificent space. As we delve into this enchanting 19th-century world captured by Durand Godefroy's skilled hand, it becomes evident that art truly transcends boundaries. This gathering brings together French and British cultures under one roof as artists from both nations showcase their works side by side. This print serves not only as a visual delight but also as a reminder that art has always held great significance for society's elite.
