"The Old Horse Guards, and the Banqueting House from St James's Park by Canaletto," remastered in the Elliott Best Studio.

This view from St James's Park showcases two of Whitehall's most significant buildings: the Old Horse Guards, headquarters of the British Army's cavalry command, and the Banqueting House, designed by Inigo Jones in 1622 and the sole surviving component of the Palace of Whitehall. The Banqueting House was a masterpiece of English Palladian architecture and the site of Charles I's execution in 1649. Canaletto captured these symbols of military and royal power from the tranquil vantage of St James's Park, blending architectural precision with the pastoral charm of London's green spaces.
