(Drivebycuriosity) - My wife and I are still exploring London. Yesterday we visited the Guildhall (wikipedia ). This is a medieval multi-purpose complex which is still in use. There is a Roman amphitheatre in the basement topped by an art gallery with funny selection. Being an ambitious amateur photographer I took some pictures which i display here.
Above "The Execution of Lady Jane Grey" by Paul Delaroche (about 1834).
Above George Henry Manville Grenton`s "The wife of jeroboam andthe Blind Prophet" (1888) followed by John Collier`s "Clydemnestra" (1882) & Lawrence Alma Tadema`s "The Pleading" ( 1876).
Above the wall-filling "Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar" by John Singleton Copley (1783-91)
Above "The Stock Exchange, London" by Rodrick Jordan (about 1966) & "Walk" by Oliver Bevan (1995).
This is "Clytie" by George Frederick Watts (1878 ).
Above you can see parts of the wonderful architecture
and the hall`s coat of arms
