EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the principal front of Lansdowne House, elegantly facing Berkeley Square. The image is taken from the renowned book "The Country Houses of Robert Adam" by Eileen Harris, published in 2007. The photo, captured by an English photographer in the 20th century, showcases the exquisite neo-classical architecture of this magnificent townhouse. Commissioned by the 3rd Earl of Bute in 1762, Lansdowne House was designed by the legendary architect Robert Adam. However, it was sold unfinished to the Earl of Shelburne (later known as the 1st Marquess of Lansdowne) and completed according to Adam's original designs in 1768. Although part of this grand house was sadly demolished in 1936, this photograph allows us to appreciate its former glory. The engaged portico with its pediment adds a touch of classical elegance to the facade. Situated in Mayfair's prestigious Berkeley Square, Lansdowne House stands as a testament to Georgian neoclassical architecture. This image not only preserves a piece of architectural history but also highlights the skillful photography that brings out every intricate detail. With its timeless charm and impeccable composition, this print from Fine Art Finder is sure to captivate any admirer of historic buildings and classical design.
