EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of the staircase at Kings Weston House in Bristol. Taken from Jeremy Musson's book, "The Country Houses of Sir John Vanbrugh" this image showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating this masterpiece. Built by renowned architect Sir John Vanbrugh around 1710 for Sir Edward Southwell, Secretary of State for Ireland, this staircase is a true testament to English baroque architecture. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of this early 18th-century structure, highlighting its unique features. The balustrade, with its intricate design and elegant curves, adds a touch of sophistication to the overall composition. The stairs seem to float effortlessly as they are supported only at their outer angles, creating an illusionary effect that is both visually striking and technically impressive. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to a bygone era when country house estates were symbols of wealth and prestige. The landing at the top of the stairs invites us further into the heart of Kings Weston House, promising more hidden treasures within its walls. With every step captured by Bridgeman Images' talented photographer, we can almost feel ourselves ascending these magnificent stairs towards an unknown destination. This print serves as a reminder not only of our rich architectural heritage but also as an invitation to explore history through art.
