On the 11th November 1918, Sir John Lavery looked across Hyde Park Corner and down Constitution Hill from an upstairs window in St George’s Hospital, and this painting shows us what he saw. As an Official War Artist with a high profile, it was not difficult for him to arrange a temporary studio on the momentous occasion of Armistice Day. ‘Peace Descending on the Quadriga of War’, the massive bronze by Adrian Jones which had been installed on Wellington Arch in 1912, found its moment, its symbolism seized upon by Lavery.

‘Armistice Day, November 11th 1918, Grosvenor Place, London’ is one of the very few paintings, other than newspaper illustrations, produced at the time it was happening. On view in our #London galleries from Friday, 16 November.
