London in the company of artists

From the point of view of the art of London, the focus of various styles and directions. He appears as a new Rome, then as a bourgeois entertainment park in the manner of impressionism, then as an external manifestation of internal confusion in the spirit of romanticism. Reflection of the gloomy truth of life, a terrible dream in reality. All this is here and does not interfere with each other, since London, with its size, age and legendary millennium, contains all these different versions of itself.

This album has collected many images of London, which are captured by artists over the past four centuries. The text is built in the form of a description of the route from west to east along the Thames, both along the northern and southern coast of the river, where we will visit the most famous and some unfamiliar places. Such a journey can be made in space, but in time it is possible only with the help of works of art. The views of the Buckingham Palace will be revealed to you, gradually changing the appearance during its centenary history, and a close look at the frozen serpentine of the 1960s will transfer you to the scene of skates written almost 200 years ago. You will see how great buildings turn into dust, and great monuments grow on the ruins. Coronations and riots, summer days and winter fairs are replaced by each other. The views of London Mirny and London Military are opened. You will see the works of the world"s famous artists - Turner, Monet and Canetto - as well as those whose names history does not even remember. The whole album, however, is filled with the unique spirit of London. And, of course, it all starts on the Thames
