EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Somerset House, an architectural gem nestled in the heart of London's Strand. With its grand Georgian façade and commanding presence, this historic landmark stands as a testament to the city's rich heritage. The photographer, Derek Kendall, skillfully frames Somerset House from a unique perspective that showcases its impressive scale and intricate details. The image beautifully highlights the symmetrical design elements and elegant proportions characteristic of Georgian architecture. As we gaze upon this general view looking south, our eyes are drawn to the meticulously maintained courtyard adorned with fountains and statues. The surrounding buildings provide a picturesque backdrop, adding depth and context to this iconic structure. Somerset House has long been revered for its cultural significance. Originally built as a royal palace in 1547, it later transformed into one of London's most prestigious art institutions. Today, it continues to serve as a hub for creativity and innovation through its diverse range of exhibitions, events, and performances. Derek Kendall's photograph not only captures the physical essence of Somerset House but also evokes a sense of timelessness that transcends generations. It invites us to appreciate both the historical importance and enduring allure of this magnificent architectural masterpiece in all its glory.
