Collection: Sir Edwin Long

Long’s artistic style was marked by a rich color palette, precise draftsmanship, and an almost photographic attention to detail. He specialized in grand, immersive scenes that depicted ancient civilizations, particularly those of Egypt, Babylon, and the Holy Land. His works often featured elaborately dressed figures, intricate architectural elements, and atmospheric lighting that evoked the grandeur and mystique of the past. His masterful use of composition and historical accuracy made his paintings highly sought after, particularly by collectors fascinated by the exoticism and romanticism of the 19th century.
