EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Stuart Epoch Masque Unfolds in Berry Pomeroy Castle's Great Chamber Berry Pomeroy Castle, nestled in the heart of Devon, England, transports us back to the opulent Stuart epoch with this reconstruction drawing. The Great Chamber, adorned in grandeur, is the setting for an elaborate masque, a theatrical production popular during the Stuart period. The fireplace, a focal point of the room, is an intricately designed work of art in itself. Its ornate carvings and detailed ornamentation are reminiscent of the intricate craftsmanship that characterized the Stuart era. The fireplace's mantelpiece is crowned with a magnificent overmantel, a testament to the wealth and status of the castle's inhabitants. The room's walls are adorned with rich tapestries and heavy velvet drapes, adding depth and texture to the space. The tapestries depict scenes of mythological figures and hunting scenes, reflecting the tastes and interests of the period's aristocracy. The masque taking place in the Great Chamber is a visual feast for the eyes. Masked revelers, dressed in elaborate costumes, engage in a lively dance, their movements synchronized to the rhythm of the music. The room is filled with the sound of laughter and merriment, a testament to the joyous spirit of the occasion. The reconstruction drawing, brought to life by the skilled hand of Peter Dunn from Historic England's Graphics Team, invites us to step back in time and experience the grandeur and opulence of a Stuart masque in the magnificent setting of Berry Pomeroy Castle.
