EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Falaise Castle in 1856, captured by the talented photographer Alfred Capel-Cure. The castle, located in Basse Normandie, France, stands proudly on a hilltop overlooking the picturesque town of Falaise. Its impressive fortifications and architectural grandeur reflect its rich history as the birthplace of William the Conqueror. The image transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into Britain's heritage art through Capel-Cure's lens. The panoramic vista captures not only the castle but also surrounding buildings and houses that add depth to this stunning landscape. As we admire this historical gem preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it is impossible not to be awestruck by its significance. This country house-turned-castle holds immense cultural value as it was once home to Duke William I of Normandy before he became King William I of England. Alfred Capel-Cure's masterful photography skillfully portrays both the architectural beauty and geographical features of this iconic landmark. Through his lens, we are transported into a different era where castles reigned supreme and landscapes held stories untold. This print serves as a testament to Capel-Cure's talent for capturing moments frozen in time while paying homage to an important piece of history. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the visual aesthetics but also delve deeper into understanding our past through artistry and preservation.
