EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of The Gallery in Gilling Castle, Yorkshire. Taken from Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" this print showcases the remarkable interior design and architectural beauty of this stately home. The image reveals a stunning display of painted ionic columns adorned with intricate gilt details, perfectly complementing the carved woodwork that graces the walls. The decor exudes a sense of opulence and sophistication, showcasing elements of Georgian architecture blended with rococo influences. Originally built as a fortified tower in the 14th century by Thomas de Etton, Gilling Castle underwent extensive renovations over time. It was transformed into an elaborate residence for Viscount Fairfax of Emley in the 18th century, possibly under the guidance of James Gibbs. However, it eventually found its way into the hands of Ampleforth School in 1929. Notably, this photograph highlights one particular aspect that has been lost to history - panelling from the Long Gallery by Matthew Ward dating back to 1748. Regrettably dismantled and sold to Bowes Museum at some point, it serves as a reminder of both past splendor and preservation efforts. Through meticulous composition and expert photography skills captured by Bridgeman Images' English Photographer (20th century), this print transports viewers into an era defined by grand interiors and architectural marvels. It is truly an exquisite piece that celebrates not only fine art but also historical preservation.
