Royal Academy Exhibition - No. 491 - "The Burial of the Two Sons of Edward IV., in the Tower, 1483" - painted by T. Cross, 1850. London exhibition of painting. 'The "Burial of the Princes in the Tower" is the only picture we have had from the pencil of Mr. Cross since the Westminster Hall Exhibition in 1847...The subject on this occasion is not so favourable to his powers, nor is his knowledge of the resources of his art of ample range enough to allow him to avail himself of those rich Rembrandt-like effects so essentially necessary for the subject he has chosen...'. Depiction of the murder of the Princes in the Tower, brothers Edward V of England and Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York. When aged 12 and 9 years old, they were held in the Tower of London by their paternal uncle and all-powerful regent the Duke of Gloucester, later Richard III of England.
