This work provides a detailed and panoramic view of Richmond Palace, a royal residence located on the banks of the River Thames in Richmond, London. Created in 1562, the drawing is one of the earliest and most comprehensive visual records of the palace, capturing its architectural grandeur and the surrounding landscape during the Tudor period.
Anthonis van den Wyngaerde, known for his meticulous topographical drawings, was commissioned by Philip II of Spain to document various cities and notable sites across Europe. His work is characterized by its precision and attention to detail, qualities that are evident in this drawing of Richmond Palace. The drawing showcases the palace's extensive grounds, its various buildings, and the intricate details of its Tudor architecture, including the distinctive gables, chimneys, and windows that were typical of the period.

Originally built in the early 16th century by Henry VII, it served as a favored residence for several Tudor monarchs, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The palace was known for its opulence, extensive gardens, and its strategic location along the Thames, which provided both a picturesque setting and a convenient route for transportation.
Van den Wyngaerde's drawing not only serves as an important historical document but also offers insights into the landscape and urban planning of the time. The view from across the Thames emphasizes the palace's imposing presence and its harmonious integration with the natural surroundings.
