EDITORS COMMENTS
Came House, located in the picturesque village of Winterborne Came in Dorset, England, is a stunning example of Palladian architecture that dates back to 1754. This exquisite watercolor painting of the northwest elevation was created by the talented artist A.T. Phillips in 1949. The meticulous attention to detail in Phillips' rendering showcases the elegant symmetry and refined lines of this historic building. The Palladian style, named after the Italian architect Andrea Palladio, is characterized by its grandiose design, balanced proportions, and the use of classical motifs. Came House embodies these elements with its impressive façade, featuring a central pediment, tall windows, and a portico supported by Doric columns. The intricate carvings and ornate details on the exterior of Came House are a testament to the craftsmanship of the artisans who built it over two centuries ago. The painting by A.T. Phillips not only captures the architectural beauty of the house but also the serene atmosphere of the surrounding countryside. The RCHME (Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England) Inventory Notes for Winterborne Came provide valuable insights into the history and significance of Came House. The organization's documentation highlights the importance of preserving historic buildings like this one for future generations to appreciate and learn from. As we admire the beauty of Came House through the lens of A.T. Phillips' painting, we are transported back in time to an era of grandeur and elegance. This work of art serves as a reminder of the rich architectural heritage that exists in Dorset and beyond.
