EDITORS COMMENTS
Northumberland House and Charing Cross" is a captivating painting by the English artist John Paul, created in the mid-1850s. This masterpiece is rendered in the 18th century style, showcasing Paul's exceptional skill and dedication to preserving the historical charm of London during the Victorian era. The painting depicts Northumberland House, a grand building located on the north side of Trafalgar Square, and Charing Cross, the roadway that marks the northwestern end of the Strand. The central focus of the composition is the intersection of these two iconic London landmarks. Paul's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate architectural features of Northumberland House, with its ornate columns, intricate stonework, and elegant balustrades. The building's red brick facade is beautifully contrasted by the lush greenery of the surrounding trees and gardens. Charing Cross, with its bustling street scene, adds a sense of energy and vibrancy to the painting. People of all walks of life can be seen going about their daily business – from pedestrians in fashionable attire to horse-drawn carriages and coaches transporting passengers. The equestrian statue of King Charles I, located atop a plinth at the center of Charing Cross, serves as a striking focal point. The statue, which was unveiled in 1843, is surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, some of whom are admiring the statue while others are engaged in lively conversations. A horse-drawn carriage, complete with a driver and passengers, adds to the bustling scene. The carriage is accompanied by a horse-drawn hackney cab, which is being hailed by a man holding a hoop and stick. This painting is a testament to the rich history and vibrant energy of London during the Victorian era. Paul's ability to capture the essence of the city and its people in a single frame makes "Northumberland House and Charing Cross" an invaluable piece of historical art.
