THE Spirit of   BLENHEIM







                        The interpretation of classical antiquity.











                                                 The Alter Realist composition merges the statue of Venus Capua and the
                                                 fountain with a bounding, stylised curtain of water- thus representing

                                                 the energy of the fountain jet and spray. The narrative celebrates water
                                                 as one of the fundamental energies and life giving source.
