EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning baroque ceiling on the ground floor at Radnor House in Middlesex. The image is taken from Giles Worsley's book, "England's Lost Houses" published in 2002. The English photographer beautifully portrays the intricate details of this architectural masterpiece. The photo showcases a remarkable trompe l'oeil effect, creating an optical phenomenon that tricks the viewer's eye into perceiving depth and dimension where there is none. Amongst the clouds painted on the ceiling, cherubs and putti gracefully float, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the scene. Radnor House itself has a rich history; it was originally built around 1673 by John Hooker and later expanded between 1741-1745 by John Robartes, the 4th Earl of Radnor. Sadly, this magnificent house met its tragic fate during World War Two when it was destroyed by a German bomb in September 1940. Despite its destruction, this photograph allows us to appreciate and preserve Radnor House's legacy through Worsley's lens. The attention to detail captured here serves as a testament to both the skill of those who created such grandeur centuries ago and to Worsley's ability as an artist behind the camera. Bridgeman Images presents this print from Fine Art Finder as an opportunity for viewers to admire not only England's lost houses but also their enduring beauty captured forever in photographs like these.
