EDITORS COMMENTS
The Knot Garden at New Place, Stratford upon Avon, is a captivating landscape scene that transports us back to the 16th century England, where the renowned playwright, William Shakespeare, once called home. This exquisite watercolour painting, created by the skilled hand of W. Quatremain, invites us to explore the intricacies of the garden that once surrounded New Place, Shakespeare's final residence in Stratford-upon-Avon. The Knot Garden, a popular feature of the Tudor period, is depicted in all its glory, with its intricate patterns of knotted shrubs and colorful flowers creating a mesmerizing maze. The meticulously designed garden, enclosed by high brick walls, offers a sense of intimacy and privacy, reflecting the Elizabethan era's love for secret gardens and hidden retreats. The painting captures the essence of the English countryside, with the vibrant greens of the garden contrasting beautifully against the clear blue sky. The tranquil pond at the garden's heart, teeming with lily pads and water lilies, adds to the serene ambiance, creating a peaceful retreat from the bustling world outside. New Place, which was demolished in the late 18th century, was once the largest house in Stratford-upon-Avon, and it is believed that Shakespeare wrote some of his later plays there. The Knot Garden, a surviving fragment of this historic site, continues to be a source of inspiration and fascination for scholars, garden enthusiasts, and lovers of Shakespeare's works. This stunning watercolour painting, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when Shakespeare walked the streets of Stratford-upon-Avon and penned some of the most enduring works of literature in the English language.
