| The
simplicity of Newport Nouveau belies the extravagance of
the home that would be directly behind the viewer were he or she to
stand in the same spot I did when shooting this photograph. Before you
is the view of the back yard of the Vanderbilt mansion The
Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island. Beyond lies the Atlantic
Ocean. Inside the house almost every room had an Orwellian-sized walk-in
marble fireplace, each one valued today at over one million
dollars! The two master bathrooms not only had hot and cold running
fresh water, but also hot and cold running sea water as the salt
was believed to be beneficial for the skin. Then there was the dining
room that was imported from some French king’s chateau (yes, the
ENTIRE dining room including the walls!), the dining room table that
expanded to seat 64 or some other equally ridiculous amount, and the
room the size of my kitchen that was designed for the sole purpose of
cutting flowers! After such an ostentatious display, this view provided
a welcome respite. |
