The Landing of William of Orange at Torbay, 1688
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment in history as depicted by Joseph Mallord William Turner. This vibrant colour lithograph showcases the arrival of William III, also known as William of Orange, in England on November 5th, 1688. The image portrays the monumental event during the Glorious Revolution when William sailed across the English Channel to claim his throne. The composition is filled with maritime elements that emphasize both the grandeur and significance of this occasion. Majestic sailing boats dominate the scene, symbolizing power and authority. A rowing boat can be seen approaching land, carrying King William himself towards his destiny. Turner's masterful use of color brings life to this historical moment. The deep blues and greens evoke a sense of tranquility amidst the turbulent waters while also highlighting the vastness and beauty of the sea. This print from "The Stapleton Collection" offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by political upheaval and change. It serves as a reminder that even in times of uncertainty, leaders emerge who shape nations' destinies. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to that fateful day when one man's arrival forever altered England's course.
