EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning interior of St. Michaels Gallery, located within the historic Fonthill Abbey. The image, taken from John Rutter's renowned book "Delineations of Fonthill" transports us back to 1823 when this aquatint was created by Finley W. Fonthill Abbey, built in 1795 by James Wyatt and once home to William Beckford, exudes an air of grandeur and opulence that is beautifully captured in this artwork. The tower, unfortunately, met its demise in 1825 while three wings were later demolished in 1845. However, this print allows us to appreciate the preserved beauty of St. Michaels Gallery. The gothic revival architecture is evident throughout the corridor with its intricate vaulting and fan vault ceiling design. This neo-gothic masterpiece stands as a testament to the Victorian Gothic art movement that swept across England during this era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a different time and place - a country house filled with rich history and architectural marvels. It serves as a reminder of the artistic genius behind Fonthill Abbey's creation and beckons us to explore further into its enchanting halls. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured not only the physical elements but also the essence of Fonthill Abbey through this evocative photograph print. It invites us to delve deeper into our appreciation for gothic architecture and relish in the beauty that lies within these walls.
