Title
Florentine entrance to the Renaissance Court at the Crystal Palace
Description
Richly carved decoration to arcaded arches at the Florentine entrance to the Renaissance Court at the Crystal Palace, Penge Place, Sydenham Hill. Five Gothic-style arches have stepped plinths and intricate scrollwork adorns the columns. The Renaissance Court was one of several Courts that provided a visual narrative of the history of fine art. The Crystal Palace was designed by Sir Joseph Paxton for the 1851 Great Exhibition in Hyde Park. The entire cast-iron and plate-glass structure was taken down after the exhibition and rebuilt at Penge Place near Sydenhill Hill. The new 300 acre site was opened by Queen Victoria on 10th June 1854. The Crystal Palace was destroyed by fire on 30 November 1936. The site is currently undergoing redevelopment.
