EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of medallion portraits of renowned British composers from the early to mid-19th century. The composition features five influential figures in the history of music: Samuel Arnold, Dr Arne, George Frideric Handel, Henry Rowley Bishop, and Henry Purcell. Samuel Arnold, who served as organist at both the Chapels Royal and Westminster Abbey, contributed greatly to the musical landscape of his time. Dr Arne is best known for composing the patriotic anthem "Rule Britannia" which has become an enduring symbol of British identity. George Frideric Handel, originally from Germany but spending most of his life in England, composed his masterpiece "Messiah" during his prolific career. Henry Rowley Bishop achieved fame through his popular song "Home! Sweet Home!" while Henry Purcell displayed exceptional talent at a young age by writing an ode for the King's birthday when he was just ten years old. Captured in oval-shaped medallions against a monochrome backdrop, these portraits offer a glimpse into the lives and contributions of these esteemed composers. This image serves as a testament to their lasting impact on music not only within Britain but also across borders and generations.
