EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Riddarhuset, also known as the House of Nobility, located in Stockholm, Sweden. Designed by the talented French architect Simon de la Vallee and completed by his son Jean in the 17th century, this magnificent building is a true testament to baroque architecture. Once serving as Sweden's equivalent to the British House of Lords, Riddarhuset held great significance until 1866 when Swedens modern parliament, the unicameral Riksdag, was established. The exterior of this historic structure exudes elegance with its intricate details and symmetrical design. The photograph beautifully captures not only the architectural brilliance but also highlights its surroundings. Nestled amidst nature's splendor, with lush green shrubs and meticulously shaped topiaries adorning its entrance, Riddarhuset stands tall as a symbol of Swedish heritage. Photographer Peter Thompson skillfully captured every detail and color in this image. From the vibrant hues that bring life to each window pane to showcasing how seamlessly this iconic building blends into Stockholm's cityscape. This print serves as a remarkable reminder of Sweden's rich history and architectural prowess. It is an ideal addition for those who appreciate both artistry and cultural heritage alike.
