The Great Obelisk - A Stroll through Lord Burlington's Chiswick Villa
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the grandeur of the great obelisk, standing proudly near the south-west entrance to Lord Burlington's Chiswick Villa. Created by Jacques Rigaud, this pen and ink with wash on paper artwork measures 29.7x50.8 cm and is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. Chiswick House, a magnificent Palladian villa in London, designed by Lord Burlington himself and completed in 1729, remains one of the finest examples of Neo-Palladian architecture in the city. The house and its sprawling gardens cover an impressive 26.33 hectares (65.1 acres), showcasing the early English landscape garden style pioneered by architect and landscape designer William Kent. In this picturesque scene, figures can be seen promenading along the grounds, immersing themselves in the beauty that surrounds them. This glimpse into British society's daily life offers a glimpse into a time when strolling through meticulously landscaped gardens was not only fashionable but also an integral part of social interaction. The combination of Lord Burlington's architectural vision and Kent's landscaping expertise creates a harmonious blend between man-made structures and natural elements throughout these enchanting grounds. As visitors explore this neo-Palladian paradise, they are transported back to a time when elegance reigned supreme. Reproduced with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this French artwork provides us with an exquisite window into history – reminding us why Chiswick House continues to captivate visitors today as it did centuries ago.
