EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite painting captures the awe-inspiring Imperial State Crown, a masterpiece of royal regalia created for Queen Victoria's coronation in 1838. The Imperial State Crown is the only crown used in the formal coronation ceremony of English and British monarchs, making it a priceless and symbolically significant artifact in the history of the British monarchy. Queen Victoria, who ascended to the throne in 1837 at the tender age of 18, is depicted here wearing the magnificent crown adorned with precious stones, gold, and intricate designs. The crown's centerpiece is the Black Prince's Ruby, a large ruby surrounded by smaller diamonds and pearls. The Imperial State Crown also features the Cullinan II diamond, the second largest diamond in the world at the time, which is now part of the British Crown Jewels. The painting also showcases the Sceptre with the Cross, one of the two orbs carried in the coronation procession. The sceptre is topped with a cross, encrusted with rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, and holds the Sovereign's Ring, which symbolizes the monarch's marriage to the realm. This painting offers a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the coronation ceremony, a momentous event in the life of a monarch that signifies their formal investiture and the beginning of their reign. The Imperial State Crown, with its rich history and precious materials, remains a testament to the enduring tradition and symbolism of the British monarchy.
