Painting Description
"The Light Horse Volunteers of London and Westminster, Commanded by Colonel Herries, Reviewed by George III on Wimbledon Common on 5th July 1798" is a notable work by the English artist Thomas Rowlandson, created in the year 1798. This artwork captures a significant historical event where the Light Horse Volunteers, a cavalry regiment, were inspected by King George III. The review took place on Wimbledon Common, an area in southwest London that was commonly used for military exercises and reviews during the 18th century.
Thomas Rowlandson (1756–1827) was a renowned British caricaturist and artist known for his satirical and humorous works. In this particular piece, Rowlandson's skill in capturing the pomp and circumstance of military life is evident. The artwork is characterized by his typical vibrant watercolors and detailed line work, which bring to life the grandeur and ceremony of the military review.
The painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, providing insight into the military customs and regalia of the period. It depicts the Light Horse Volunteers, a unit formed in response to the threat of French invasion during the Revolutionary Wars. The regiment is shown in formation, with Colonel Herries leading, while King George III and his entourage observe the proceedings.
Rowlandson's work is significant for its artistic merit and its portrayal of a specific moment in British history, reflecting the nation's martial spirit and the role of the monarchy in public life at the time. The painting is an important representation of the late 18th-century British military and society, offering a glimpse into the pageantry and the patriotic fervor that characterized the era.
