Best known for Nayler's Coronation of… George IV series of costume portraits which record details of elaborate ceremonial costume and are richly coloured, elegant, and highly finished. George IV attempted to rival the coronation of Napoleon when he was crowned emperor. He gave visual expression to intense contemporary interest in antiquarian and historical subjects brought about by the arrival in Britain of the Elgin marbles, by the novels of Sir Walter Scott and his arrangements for the visit of George IV to Edinburgh in 1822. Their richly coloured work illustrates a romantic view of history that found its fullest expression during the Regency period.
