"Peace with Honour - Queen Victoria (1819-1901) with Benjamin Disraeli (1804-81) following the signing of the Berlin Treaty in 1878" is a historical painting by Theodore Blake Wirgman, a 19th-century artist known for his portraits and genre scenes. The artwork commemorates a significant moment in British history, capturing the interaction between Queen Victoria, the then-reigning British monarch, and her Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, after the conclusion of the Congress of Berlin.

The Congress of Berlin was a diplomatic meeting held in 1878, convened by the major European powers to renegotiate the territories of the Balkans following the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878. The Treaty of Berlin, which was the outcome of the congress, redrew the map of the Balkans, reduced the size of the Ottoman Empire, and had far-reaching consequences for European politics.

In Wirgman's painting, the figures of Queen Victoria and Disraeli are depicted in a moment of reflection or discussion, symbolizing the British satisfaction with the diplomatic outcomes of the treaty. Disraeli, in particular, was credited with playing a significant role in the negotiations, and his foreign policy was often summarized by the phrase "peace with honour," which is reflected in the title of the painting.

Theodore Blake Wirgman, born in 1848 and passing in 1925, was a painter of British-Swedish descent who studied at the Royal Academy Schools in London. His work often focused on historical and contemporary figures, and "Peace with Honour" is a prime example of his interest in capturing pivotal moments in British history.

The painting serves as a visual representation of a key episode in the late Victorian era, highlighting the relationship between the monarchy and the government, as well as the broader implications of British foreign policy during a period of imperial expansion and strategic diplomacy. It is a work that not only holds artistic value but also serves as a historical document, offering insight into the era's political climate and the personalities that shaped it.
