Painting Description
"Portrait of Queen Victoria in Coronation Robes" is a watercolor painting by Swiss-born British artist Alfred-Edward Chalon (1780–1860). Created in 1838, the artwork depicts the young Queen Victoria on the occasion of her coronation, which took place on June 28, 1838, at Westminster Abbey. The portrait is renowned for its historical significance and its role in shaping the visual image of the queen in the early years of her reign.
In the portrait, Queen Victoria is adorned in her coronation robes, wearing the regalia that symbolizes her royal authority. The painting captures the queen in a moment of youthful elegance and regal poise, with an emphasis on the opulence of her attire and the solemnity of her role as the newly anointed monarch. Chalon's work is characterized by its detailed rendering of textures and fabrics, as well as its vibrant use of color, which was well-suited to the grandeur of the occasion.
The portrait gained widespread recognition and was used as the basis for the design of the first postage stamp, the Penny Black, which featured a profile of the queen's head and was issued in 1840. This connection to philatelic history further enhances the painting's prominence. The image of Queen Victoria from Chalon's portrait became one of the most enduring representations of the queen throughout her long reign and remains an iconic image of British monarchy.
Alfred-Edward Chalon's "Portrait of Queen Victoria in Coronation Robes" is held in high esteem not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical impact. It is a significant work in the oeuvre of Chalon and a valuable piece of the United Kingdom's royal heritage. The painting is part of the Royal Collection, which is held in trust by the reigning monarch for the nation and is often on public display in various exhibitions that explore the life and legacy of Queen Victoria.
