EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic dome at Castle Howard in Yorkshire. The image is taken from Giles Worsley's book "England's Lost Houses" published in 2002, showcasing the architectural wonders of the country. Built between 1699 and 1712 by Sir John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor for the 3rd Earl of Carlisle, Castle Howard was tragically gutted by fire in 1940. However, this photograph predates that devastating event, allowing us to admire the dome in all its glory before it collapsed. The dome itself is a remarkable feat of restoration after the fire. It stands proudly against a clear sky, exuding elegance and grandeur. The frescoes painted by Antonio Pellegrini add an artistic touch to its already impressive design. The interior of Castle Howard is equally breathtaking, as seen through the balustraded gallery captured in this photo. The wall paintings and intricate details showcase English Baroque architecture at its finest. Photographed by an anonymous English photographer from the 20th century, this print offers a glimpse into history while highlighting the beauty of Castle Howard's architecture. With its meticulous composition and attention to detail, it truly embodies the grand manner style. This stunning image has been made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection but should not be used for commercial purposes without permission.
