By Conrad Martin Metz and James Heath 1776 - 1825 This image has been clearly influenced by Italian Renaissance art. The stones have been portrayed quite accurately but the setting, particularly the shepherd in the lower left corner, is classical in style. This is typical of the fashion for artworks during this period. It also reinforces the emerging idea that Great Britain was becoming the most important empire in the world and therefore, the new Rome.
