The artwork titled “View of Henry VII’s Chapel, Westminster Abbey from Old Palace Yard” was created by Edward Edwards and belongs to the Neoclassicism art movement.
The artwork encapsulates the grandeur of Henry VII’s Chapel at Westminster Abbey as viewed from Old Palace Yard. The central focus is the intricate Gothic architecture of the chapel, highlighted by its elaborate stonework and towering structure. The scene is set against a sky with scattered clouds, adding depth and a soft light to the composition. In the foreground, a cobblestone courtyard contains a few figures and a horse-drawn cart, providing a sense of scale and everyday life to the historical surroundings.
