Description

The main portion of the stately Governor's Palace building in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia is a lovely sight on a bright summer afternoon. Williamsburg is filled with architectural jewels at every step, and the Palace is one of the most admired and beloved of all.

"The Palace At Williamsburg" is a cropped vertical version of the horizontal image "Colonial Williamsburg Governor's Palace" which is also available in my portfolio here.

Construction on the Dutch Palladianism style palace was begun in 1706 and completed in 1722. A fire destroyed it in 1781, but it was reconstructed through the efforts of Reverend Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin, rector of Bruton Parish Church and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr., whose family provided major funding, in the early 20th century. The Palace's house, outbuildings, and gardens opened as an exhibition on April 23, 1934 and is enjoyed by visitors to this day.

This image has been hand-painted, digitally, using my own original photography (not from stock or "public domain") as a guide, in Corel Painter.

Products and fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... wall-art purchases will look their very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
