1891 Art Work Baden Baron Chief Malta Powell Water Colour Scout Scouts
EDITORS COMMENTS
Verdala Palace, Malta (View of Verdala Palace, Malta, 26 July 1891) This stunning watercolor painting, created on July 26, 1891, captures the breathtaking view of Verdala Palace in Malta. The palace, nestled in a lush valley surrounded by rolling hills and verdant gardens, has been the residence of the Maltese President since 1974, but in the late 19th century, it was the summer residence of the British Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the British Mediterranean Fleet, Lord Baden-Powell. In this artwork, we see Lord Baden-Powell, dressed in a summer suit and hat, gazing out at the palace from a vantage point overlooking the valley. He is accompanied by a young scout, Robert Powell, who looks up at his chief with admiration and curiosity. The scouts, an organization founded by Lord Baden-Powell in 1907, were an integral part of his life, and he often incorporated them into his travels and adventures. The painting, executed in a delicate and precise watercolor technique, captures the essence of the Maltese landscape with its warm colors and intricate details. The clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea sparkle in the foreground, while the palace, with its red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, stands proudly against the backdrop of the hills. This artwork, by an unknown artist, is a testament to the beauty of Malta and the enduring legacy of Lord Baden-Powell, who continues to inspire generations of scouts around the world. The painting, created over a century ago, remains a timeless masterpiece that transports us to a bygone era and invites us to explore the wonders of nature and the world around us.
