Painting Description
"Queen Victoria in Coronation Robes" is a renowned watercolor painting by Swiss-English artist Alfred-Edward Chalon (1780–1860). Created in 1838, the artwork depicts the young Queen Victoria at the age of 19, dressed in her regal coronation attire. This painting gained significant historical importance as it was the image used for the first postage stamps of the United Kingdom, known as the Penny Black and the Two Pence Blue, making it one of the most replicated images of the 19th century.
Chalon's portrait captures the youthful monarch adorned with the symbols of sovereignty, including the crimson Parliament Robes, the St. Edward's Crown, and the Royal Sceptre. The painting is characterized by its vibrant color palette and meticulous attention to the intricate details of the coronation regalia. Chalon's work was commissioned to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria, which took place on June 28, 1838, at Westminster Abbey.
The painting's historical significance is further underscored by its role in shaping the visual representation of the British monarchy. It became the definitive image of Queen Victoria for many years and was widely distributed, both within the British Empire and internationally. The artwork is a prime example of Chalon's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey the grandeur and ceremony of royal events.
"Queen Victoria in Coronation Robes" is held in the Royal Collection Trust, and it remains an iconic image of the Victorian era, reflecting the pageantry of the British monarchy and the cultural significance of royal portraiture during the period. The painting not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to the enduring legacy of Queen Victoria's reign.
