EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic beauty of Queen Anne's Orangery at Kensington Palace. The centre of the south side is showcased in all its glory, revealing a stunning example of English baroque architecture. Originally believed to be designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, it is now attributed to Nicholas Hawksmoor, adding an intriguing historical dimension to this architectural masterpiece. Built in 1704-05 for Queen Anne, this orangery served as a summer dining room and was an integral part of the royal residence. Its grandeur is evident in every detail, from the rusticated columns that grace its exterior to the intricately designed doorway that beckons visitors inside. The photograph perfectly captures the essence of this 18th-century gem, showcasing its timeless elegance against a backdrop of lush greenery in Kensington Gardens. The play between light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing our appreciation for both the structure itself and its natural surroundings. As we gaze upon this print from "The Country Houses of Sir John Vanbrugh" by Jeremy Musson (published 2008), we are transported back in time to an era where garden architecture held immense significance. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity throughout history while reminding us of the enduring beauty found within our built environment.
