The Two Crowns is a 1900 oil by Frank Bernard Dicksee, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Gallery.
This painting depicts a woman in armor, wearing a crown and holding a sword. She is surrounded by other women, some of whom are holding flowers or looking up at her. The scene is set in a grand, ornate space with stone walls and a large window. The woman in armor is the central figure, and her presence is emphasized by her size and the attention of the other women. The use of color and light adds depth and emotion to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and the details of her armor. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama and tension, highlighting the contrast between light and dark.
Sir Francis Bernard Dicksee (27 November 1853 – 17 October 1928) was an English Victorian painter and illustrator, best known for his pictures of dramatic literary, historical, and legendary scenes.
