EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the drawing room in Sutton Scarsdale, Derbyshire. Taken from Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" this image showcases the exquisite interior of a stately home that has long been lost to time. Built in 1724 by Francis Smith of Warwick for the 4th Earl of Scarsdale, this Georgian masterpiece was once a symbol of opulence and sophistication. However, after being sold by William Arkwright in 1920, the interiors were dismantled, leaving only an empty shell behind. The photograph focuses on the impressive chimneypiece adorned with intricate carvings and flanked by elegant pilasters. The neoclassical influences are evident throughout the room, showcasing English baroque architecture at its finest. Through this lens, we catch a glimpse into history - an era when aristocracy reigned supreme and lavish homes like Sutton Scarsdale were status symbols. The photographer skillfully captures every detail with precision and clarity, allowing us to appreciate both the craftsmanship of yesteryears and their enduring beauty. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by an anonymous English photographer from the 20th century, we can't help but marvel at how photography preserves moments frozen in time. It serves as a reminder that even though these magnificent houses may be lost to us now, their legacy lives on through artistry such as this stunning print available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection.
