EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Nigel Corrie showcases the majestic Wellington Arch and Apsley House in all their nocturnal glory. Bathed in a soft, ethereal glow, this dark and atmospheric image transports us to a time when Georgian architecture reigned supreme. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly the Wellington Arch, its grandeur accentuated by floodlights that cast an enchanting radiance upon its classical columns. Standing tall against the night sky, it exudes a sense of strength and resilience - a fitting tribute to one of Britain's greatest military heroes. To the right of the arch stands Apsley House, adding another layer of historical significance to this already remarkable scene. This stately Georgian mansion was once home to Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington himself. Its elegant façade perfectly complements the architectural splendor of its neighboring archway. Corrie's expert use of lighting creates an otherworldly ambiance that draws us into this timeless moment captured on film. The interplay between light and shadow adds depth and dimension to every intricate detail within the frame. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time; our imaginations ignited with stories from centuries past. It serves as a reminder not only of London's rich history but also pays homage to those who have shaped it throughout generations. Nigel Corrie has masterfully captured both beauty and heritage in this stunning print for all admirers of British architecture and history alike.
