About the piece
This 1798 oil painting by Thomas Malton depicts King's Parade in Cambridge with meticulous architectural detail. The composition balances the towering Gothic buttresses of King's College Chapel with the neoclassical facade on the right, animated by figures on horseback and in carriages under a soft, atmospheric sky. It serves as a sophisticated record of Georgian era academic life.
