EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent South Front of Forde Abbey, Dorset, as seen from the tranquil Long Pond. The artist behind this masterpiece is CM Dixon, who skillfully portrays the architectural beauty of this Grade I listed building. Forde Abbey has a rich history dating back to its origins as a 12th-century Cistercian monastery. However, much of its original structure was sadly demolished during the dissolution period. Nevertheless, what remains are stunning 16th and 17th-century additions that still stand tall today. The image showcases the grandeur of Forde Abbey's facade against a picturesque backdrop. The reflection in the pond adds an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing its overall charm and allure. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can't help but be captivated by both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder of England's religious heritage and offers insight into Christianity's influence on architecture throughout centuries. Dorset's natural geography also plays a role in making this image truly breathtaking. Nestled amidst serene surroundings, Forde Abbey stands as a testament to human craftsmanship harmoniously blending with nature. CM Dixon expertly captures all these elements through his lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also the spiritual essence embodied within Forde Abbey. This print is indeed an invaluable piece for any lover of art or history seeking to bring forth England's cultural legacy into their homes or spaces.
