Intricate details come to life within this image - from the c17th bronze reproduction of Borghese's Gladiator by Hubert Le Sueur to the exquisite wall paintings created by William Kent himself. The mahogany balustrade adds a touch of elegance as it gracefully winds its way up towards unknown heights.
