EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic west front of Lumley Castle, a 14th-century fortress that was remodeled by renowned architect Sir John Vanbrugh in the 1720s. The castle, located in County Durham, England, was transformed into an exquisite country house for the 2nd Earl of Scarborough. Vanbrugh's architectural genius is evident in this image as he introduced tall sash windows and roundels above them to enhance the grandeur of the central range. The crenellated tower stands proudly at one end, adding a touch of medieval charm to the English baroque architecture. The photographer skillfully captures every intricate detail of this historic masterpiece. The play between light and shadow creates a dramatic effect on the stone facade, emphasizing its age-old beauty. This photograph truly transports us back in time to experience both the glory of medieval times and the elegance of early 18th-century design. As we gaze upon this print from "The Country Houses of Sir John Vanbrugh" by Jeremy Musson, published in 2008, we can't help but marvel at how seamlessly history blends with artistry. It serves as a reminder that these country houses are not just buildings; they are living testaments to our rich heritage.
