Description
Explore the history of European taste and design through the lens of 18th-century Britain. This beautifully illustrated book examines the significant impact of patronage and collecting by the 1st Duke and Duchess of Northumberland: Sir Hugh Smithson and Lady Elizabeth Seymour Percy. Readers will learn about the grand architectural campaigns that shaped several historic estates. The text follows the refurbishment of four major houses, including Stanwick Hall, Northumberland House, Syon House, and Alnwick Castle. Each location reflects the eclectic architectural styles favored during this era. This volume provides a detailed look at how the Northumberland family used their influence to influence design history. It is an essential resource for those interested in British architecture, the history of art, and the power of private collections in the eighteenth century.
