The portrait of the Poet Earl of Surrey is perfectly positioned to be framed by the archways looking back from Grand Staircase. As you leave the intimate, low proportions of the Picture Gallery, the deliberate contrast becomes clear. The Grand Staircase opens up with a sense of scale and grandeur, its cathedral-like proportions adding drama and elegance to the space. #castle #history #castles #placestovisit #architecture | Arundel Castle
