EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Witley Court and Gardens in Worcestershire. Standing tall amidst lush greenery, the Perseus and Andromeda fountain takes center stage, its grandeur enhanced by the cascading water flowing gracefully from its intricate sculpture. Nigel Corrie skillfully freezes this moment in time, showcasing the fountain in full flow against a backdrop of Victorian elegance. The statue of Perseus, a Greek mythological hero, stands as a symbol of bravery and triumph over adversity. With his sword raised high above his head, he appears ready to rescue Andromeda from her perilous fate. The delicate features of Andromeda are exquisitely carved, capturing both vulnerability and strength. Beyond this mesmerizing centerpiece lies Witley Court itself - an architectural masterpiece that once boasted opulent interiors fit for royalty. Though now partially ruined after a devastating fire in 1937, its majestic presence is still evident through crumbling walls and ornate details peeking through the surrounding foliage. As wisps of clouds dance across the sky above, they add an ethereal touch to this already magical scene. Nigel Corrie's expert composition allows us to appreciate every detail - from the fine craftsmanship on each sculpture to the interplay between light and shadow on stone surfaces. This print serves as a testament to Historic England's commitment to preserving our rich heritage for future generations to admire and cherish.
