An Allegory Of Britains Mercantile Power Wall Art

Created in 1803 by Robert Smirke, "An Allegory Of Britains Mercantile Power" exemplifies the timeless qualities of Neoclassicism, rendered with Drawings sensibility, with its dominant White tones creating subtle visual harmony. Robert Smirke (1753 - 1845) was born the son of an eccentric itinerant painter. When he moved to London in the wake of his father's work at the age of 12, he apprenticed with the carriage painter Bromely.
