EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of the majestic Quadriga Statue, located at Wellington Arch in Hyde Park Corner, Westminster, London. The artist behind this remarkable shot is none other than Derek Kendall. The focus of this image lies on the exquisite hoof detail of the statue, showcasing a level of craftsmanship that is truly awe-inspiring. Every curve and contour has been meticulously preserved through ongoing conservation efforts, ensuring that this magnificent sculpture remains a testament to both artistry and history. The Quadriga Statue itself holds great significance as it symbolizes victory and triumph. Depicting a chariot drawn by four horses driven by an allegorical figure representing Peace descending upon War, it serves as a powerful reminder of Britain's resilience and determination throughout its storied past. In this particular photograph, Kendall skillfully captures not only the grandeur but also the delicate nature of these equine hooves. The play between light and shadow accentuates every line and texture, allowing viewers to appreciate even the tiniest nuances within each intricately carved feature. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Historic England's collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how dedication to preservation ensures that our cultural heritage endures for generations to come.
