About the piece
Painted in 1858, Henry Pether’s Lambeth Palace is a masterful example of a Victorian nocturnal landscape. The work captures the quiet grandeur of the Thames at night, using a sophisticated chiaroscuro technique to balance the dark silhouettes of the palace architecture against the luminous, ethereal glow of a full moon reflecting on the water's surface.
