This print takes us back in time to the grandeur and opulence of Hardwick Old Hall in Derbyshire. The expertly crafted reconstruction drawing by Peter Urmston transports us to the year 1590, where we find ourselves immersed in a scene of lively entertainment within the Great Chamber. Bess of Hardwick, a prominent figure during the Tudor era, is depicted as an elegant hostess, effortlessly commanding attention with her grace and charm. Surrounded by guests dressed in elaborate period attire, she presides over a room adorned with exquisite decorative details that showcase the architectural splendor of this historic site. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the magnificent fireplace that dominates one wall of the chamber. Its intricate design showcases skilled craftsmanship and serves as both a functional necessity for warmth and an impressive statement piece. The roaring fire within adds a cozy ambiance to this lavish setting. Peter Urmston's graphic depiction captures every minute detail with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate not only Bess's regal presence but also the fine tapestries adorning the walls and ornate furnishings scattered throughout. This print offers an invaluable glimpse into life during Elizabethan times while highlighting Hardwick Old Hall's significance as an architectural gem from England's past.
