Description: | This painting shows the arrest of Guy Fawkes by the Royalist soldier Sir Thomas Knevet. Guy Fawkes had been attempting to blow up the Houses of Parliament in the attack of 1605. Light gleams on the armour and rich clothing of Sir Thomas Knevet. On the left, a concealed lantern throws subdued light on one of Guy Fawkes' men, lighting his face from below. The twisting, interlocked poses and the dramatic light effects of the picture were influenced by 17th century Baroque painting style. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement art men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
