EDITORS COMMENTS
Hardwick Old Hall, Derbyshire: A Glimpse into Bess of Hardwick's Grand Entertainments Step back in time to the late 16th century and experience the opulence and grandeur of Hardwick Old Hall in Derbyshire, as depicted in this reconstruction drawing by renowned historian artist Peter Urmston (J980043). This graphic representation transports us to the Great Chamber, the heart of the Elizabethan mansion, where Bess of Hardwick, one of the most influential women of her time, would have entertained her esteemed guests. The intricately carved Tudor fireplace, a testament to the wealth and status of its owner, dominates the scene. The fireplace's elaborate design, with its ornate foliage and grotesque masks, reflects the flamboyant style of the Elizabethan era. The room is adorned with rich tapestries, velvet-covered furniture, and an abundance of flowers, symbolizing the abundance and prosperity of the Hardwick estate. Bess of Hardwick, a formidable and ambitious woman, was known for her extravagant entertainments. She would have spared no expense to impress her guests, who included the great and the powerful of the day. The Great Chamber would have been filled with the sounds of music, the aroma of exotic spices, and the lively chatter of guests engaged in intellectual debates and merrymaking. This evocative drawing invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and scents of a bygone era, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the world of Bess of Hardwick and the grand entertainments she hosted in the magnificent Great Chamber of Hardwick Old Hall.
