Description: | Light gleams on the armour and rich clothing of the Royalist soldier, Sir Thomas Knevet. This scene depicts Sir Thomas Knevet reaching out to arrest Guy Fawkes, who had been attempting to blow up the Houses of Parliament in the attack of 1605. 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. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1823 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Henry Perronet Briggs (RA) | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
